Red skin around eyes
Common Questions and Answers about Red skin around eyes
skin
My face is more tan than red but the redness makes a circular outline around my eyes which makes it look like i've been wearing sunglasses and got burned, but not around my eyes. People are always commenting on it saying things like, "looks like you've been wearing sunglasses" and it's getting very annoying. Is there anything I can do to even it out or get rid of the redness?
I awoke 12 hrs ago with red puffy circles around my eyes. I first thought it was lack of sleep since I am a new parent but soon realized it was far worse than "tired eyes". My eyelids are swollen with one top lid being more fluid filled and puffy. There is a red rash on the far sides of both my eyes and the skin is slightly broken, mildly irritated and burns a bit. The bags under my eyes are now wrinkled and look streched with dry patches throughout.
Personally I would not recommend using hydrocortisone cream near your eyes. The skin around the eyes is already thin and hydrocortisone creams thin the skin so care needs to be taken when using this type of cream.
It appears that you may have an allergic reaction to something.
I would suggest you see your doctor for a correct diagnosis and for him to prescribe the appropriate medication for you.
In the meantime do not use any make ups or eye make up.
Here is a pic of my problem...

When I was 13 (I am 29 now) I saw a doctor about a bad cold, and he pointed out some dry flakey skin around my nose and behind my ear. He told me to use some Hydrocortizone cream, and sure enough it cleared right up. But after a week or two, it came back as a red rash, and has been red ever since. It doesn't really itch or hurt, and it doesn't dry up unless I skip washing my face for a day.
After about 10 minutes it spread to the other side of her face and under her eyes. Now, the rednedd around her face had subsided a little but now her under her eyes are so red that they look purple. THeyare not ithching swollen or tearing any more than usual. A friend of mine said that she look like a zombie. Any one know anything about this.
My four year old daughter has suddenly developed swelling around her eyes, nose and cheeks.. Eyes and cheeks are mildly red and doesnt seem to hurt. The skin has small bumps. No obvious bites, wounds or throat swelling.. No circumstances have changed recently to make me think allergic reaction, and shes never had an allergic reaction to anything. She recently got over a mild feverless cold with congestion and runny nose.. Any ideas?
Every few months at times when I get stressed, I notice red marks that appear around my mouth. They do not look like sores, only red spots on the skin about 1/2 inch or less from the lips. They are about less than 1/2 the size of a dime in diameter. They are usually there for a few hours and then disappear only to reappear in a different spot later. They feel slightly itchy and hot. They will appear in different areas around the mouth and the episode lasts for about 3 days.
Hi. I'm 26 and I have a light beige skin tone. I have very brownish skin around my eyes. It goes up to my brow line and below my eyes as well. This is not typical dark circles. It is brown rather than grey or bluish. No amount of extra sleep, water, iron, or anything else seems to help. It has gotten worse over the past 8 years or so. I have heard that it could be caused by some sort of health problem. Any insight would be helpful.
I was also diagnosed with hypothyroidism a little more than a year ago and have been on 50 MCGs of synthroid once a day. The Restasis helped a lot, but because my eyes were still getting red sometimes, I started using OTC eyedrops as well, with my Opthamologist's knowledge and blessing. My eyes were still getting red and irritated and so he gave me a prescription for Lotemax, to be used twice a day. That helped for a while, but my eyes were still getting irritated.
Hi Everyone,
My hubby, Rick is in his 5th month of tx. He is on 180 mg Pegysus pr wk and 1000 mg riba daily, plus Procrit and Neupogen once a wk for low red and white blood cells. He's had a rough time- he was in the hospital a couple weeks ago for a blood transfusion. Today, the skin around his eyes is all red- the places where his glasses rest is deep red, like it's bruised. Underneath his eyes and especially on his eyelids is red.
At its worst, it was a red, oily, tight rash on my chin that extended around both sides of my mouth and then underneath my nose. It also itched, but not severely, and it had some small red blisters in it. One time I even woke up with swollen red lips that also had burning blisters around the edges along with split corners! At first I thought it was Perioral Dermatitis, so I put some apple cider vinegar (ACV) on it to dry it out because I had read online that ACV could cure it.
So for the past month, blotches around my cheeks, nose, and eyes have been developing and I clearly have no idea what's going on.. At first I thought it was acne occuring, but it seems that's not it. I've been applying a cleanser and moisturizer daily to it yet it doesn't seem to be doing the trick. I do have sensitive skin and naturally oily skin might I add..
I'll provide you with two pictures of either side of my face:

I have been noticing these small red, pinkish and some even purple spots around my eyes. I have found that it is not uncommon for people with HIV to develop some skin conditions but I'm not clear if it usually happens in the later stages or in the early stages of the virus. I have had unprotected oral sex(recieved) more times than I would like to admit and have had protected anal sex. I was wearing a condom for that. I decided to get an HIV test done and so now I am awaiting the results.
Hi,
Groups of itchy or tender small red papules appear most often around the mouth, and sometimes around the eyes called periocular rash. The surrounding skin may be pink, and the skin surface often becomes dry and flaky.On the other hand, milia, are benign, keratin-filled cysts that can appear just under the epidermis or on the roof of the mouth. They are usually found around the nose and eyes. Can you elaborate more on the rash description? Are there other signs or symptoms present?
