I don't know what it is, but I have the same problem. My eyes have gotten
very sensitive and sometimes I wonder if it could be that because I sweat a
lot and thus use the gym towel to wipe my face, maybe I am sensitive to the
detergent they use. Naturally, I've done nothing to prove this true or
false, because it is just easier to use their towel, but I am fighting an
annoying rash in the eye area. It could just be sweat, too. I am going to
a dermotologist next week, for another reason, and intend to ask her what is
up. Good luck.

This is sort of a strange thing but the last few of times that I've done a
long workout (30 minutes on treadmill, 30 min on recumbent bike and trying
to do 30 on elliptical) my sweat has started burning the area under my
eyes.
Since the first time it happened, I've made sure that there's no makeup or
any kind of moisturizer or wrinkle therapy cream on my face. It only
happens when I've been sweating heavily for a while (at least an hour) and
then it only burns the under eye area especially the left eye. I've
started
trying to drink more water both while I'm exercising and just during the
day
and I stopped yesterday when I started feeling the sting. I went and
rinsed
my face off and tried to cool down so I'd stop sweating but the damage was
already done. I have a angry red blotch stretching from the corner of my
left eye to my noise almost and an inch the other direction. The redness
under the right eye didn't get as bad and it's already gone away. Anyone
have any ideas why this is happening and what else (besides not working
out
at all) I could do about it?
