Over the past several years, usually in the morning, I have had this intense itching around and under my eyebrows. The experience lasts for about five minutes and then dissapates. This happens several times per week. Am I alone with the problem?

Apparently so. 🙂

Does it itch in the same spot?  
As with most things, if it’s bugging you, ask, “What’s up, Doc?”

If you rub your eyes when you’re tired, maybe you could be getting contact dermatitis from the soap or lotion you use on your hands. This is just my W.A.G. Talk to an allergist.🙂
