Dear Doctor,
Thank you for working with me to get to the root of my Hitch eye.
The verdict?
I’m allergic to nickel.
I prefer gold, silver and platinum anyway.
😉
I had narrowed my problem down to one of three eye shadows — my favorite, most expensive ones, of course.
All shimmery.
And what’s in shimmery eye shadows?
Nickel.
Your patch test proved it.
The patch test.
That medieval torture.
Testing for 36 different things.
On my back.
From a Friday morning to a Monday afternoon.
It was terrible.
And I knew I was allergic to something almost immediately because of the itching.
Itching on the top left.
That’s right.
Weird how I never had this problem before.
But, as you said, my body just had enough.
Hitch eye was its way of saying, “Stop that.”
I guess I’ll have to find some folks in the market for some bougie, nickel-filled eye shadow.
But now I know, so thank you.
Hope I don’t see you soon,
Beth
Observe and report 
Your eyes are pretty enough without those eye shadows—nothing lost by tossing them.
