good morning @alleah . You’ve seen a dermatologist, but they have no answers. And a cardiologist for your heart. But, no answers. Have you also seen an ophthalmologist for your eyes? How frustrating. Have your doctors suggested going to a major medical center? A group of doctors, together, might be the answer finders that you need.
What have you done so far to control the itching and irritation?

Good morning @becsbuddy thank you for the answer! The ophthalmologist suggested corticosteroids that I already use. The doctors I have seen didn't suggest any further testing or specialist. I had to search for testing and specialists on my own. The dermatologist was done with me in literally 5 minutes so it's a bit frustrating. I'm not from the U.S. but the Czech Republic so the health system is probably a bit different here. I go to a centre that has almost a hundred doctors under one roof but it's not like they work or speak together about patients. They work only with information the patient provides them. So I try to connect the dots from all the examinations and testing.

I try to control the itching and irritation with antihistamines that seem to work. The swelling gets better with cold compresses and also helps with an itch for short time. Generally, a low histamine diet seemed to help with itching but I'm not 100 % sure about its connection to my issues.
