http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/under-eye-puffiness/AN00664\n\nWhat causes puffy eyes? Is there anything I can do to reduce it?\n\n\nMayo Clinic dermatologist Lawrence Gibson, M.D., and colleagues answer select questions from readers.\nAnswer\nMild puffiness of the skin under your eyes can result from a number of causes, including:\n\nHeredity \nFluid retention such as due to changes in weather or hormone levels \nAllergies or dermatitis, especially if puffiness is accompanied by redness and itching \nUnder-eye puffiness is usually only a temporary cosmetic concern and rarely a sign of a serious underlying medical condition. Some tips for reducing mild under-eye puffiness:\n\nRaise the head of your bed at night. This helps prevent fluids from accumulating around your eyes as you sleep. \nWhile sitting up, apply a cool tap water compress to the skin under your eyes for a few minutes. You can also use chilled cucumber slices, a refrigerated gel mask or chilled, damp tea bags. \nThere is some anecdotal evidence that hemorrhoid cream applied under the eyes can reduce puffiness. But no clinical trials have evaluated its effectiveness for this use. Also, ingredients in hemorrhoid cream may be irritating to the skin around your eyes, resulting in dryness and inflammation.\n\nIf puffiness is severe and persistent or you notice swelling (edema) in other parts of your body, see your doctor. He or she will want to rule out other possible causes of swelling, such as kidney or thyroid problems or a side effect of medications.\n\n_______________________\n\nhttp://www.ageless.co.za/what-causes-puffy-eyes.htm#What%20causes%20puffy%20eyes?\n\nThyroid problems \nPeople suffering from a thyroid problem (also referred to as a goiter) normally have very protruding eyes - if you have any qualms about your thyroid not functioning effectively, or if you have any symptoms of an over - or under active thyroid please check the amount of iodine you consume, and consult your doctor immediately.\n\nAging and nutrition \nAs we age, the fragile skin around our eye start to lose its elasticity, and the lymphatic drainage system, which helps to keep the area voided of excess fluids, loses it proper functioning. \nNutrition can also play a part and although our product will assist in re-vitalizing the collagen and elastin in the skin around the eyes, you do need vitamin C in your body in order for collagen to be formed.\n\nIn the absence of vitamin C, the body cannot produce collagen. The RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) of 60 mg of vitamin C per day it will not achieve much, nor will it assist in enhancing and furthering the quality of your skin – this amount is only enough to prevent beriberi (scurvy).\n\nTo assist in collagen formation and re-vitalizing your fragile skin around the eyes - please consider taking an extra vitamin C (ascorbic acid) supplement, after checking with your medical practitioner.\n\nWhen taking a vitamin C supplement, look at one that contains bioflavonoids (vitamin P) as well, as these bioflavonoids boosts the efficacy with which the vitamin will perform its work.\n\nTiredness \nPlain tiredness will add to the problem. Check the amount of hours you sleep and also take note of the amount of hours you work in front of a computer terminal or watch television – both these activities can cause strain.\n\nEyedrops will relieve irritation and a bloodshot look, but will do little to soothe tired eyes.\n\n... crying...

I had some botox for another condition which turned out to cause some problems.  I have been told that it will take anywhere from 3 - 6 months to wear off depending on how my body absorbs it.  It has been two months and there has been no lessening at this point.

pimples around the eye are different to normal facial ones.  Because the skin there is more elastic, they have to build up more pressure before they blow.  That takes more time, and they will get harder.  If a doctor has already looked at it, then no worries.  I pricked one I had with a sterilized needle , which you shouldn't do, but it did work. It was there for a couple months, hard, annoying as anything, light in colour.   But you aren't supposed to put a needle anywhere near your eye, and it could be dangerous, etc. etc. etc.

There really aren't any.  It just has to go away.  To cut down on irritation, you should apply a warm washcloth regularly to the eye.

yep! \nno matter the spf, lotion can't block all the rays.

No. It really has nothing to do with your diet. It has to do with how active, or in-active your sweat glands are.\nIf you are having a real problem with your pit stains you can get botox injected in your underarm area and it will reduce the sweat produced underarm. Your insurance company will pay for it as well as long as you have documented proof of the problem in your medical file.

They have now applied BOTOX in the pits to stop sweating for 6 months or more.  Maybe something to consider.  It is VERY effective.  A one or two times a year treatment option sounds very good too.

No. It's usually done to prevent excessive nose bleeds which can last for hours. I am not a Doctor. I just know a few people who had it done for this reason.

I would not recommend doing that, botulinum is a very dangerous toxin that needs to be handled by professionals only.

"Botox is reportedly a favourite with Oscar nominees who don't want to work up a sweat on the red carpet. Some stars have injections in their armpits to paralyse the sweat glands there. This way they can receive their awards knowing they don't have sweaty patches under their arms and hand back their couture outfits unstained."\n-bbc.co.uk\n\n"Hyperhidrosis is a troublesome problem that results in awkward social situations for those that are affected. For example, salesmen with sweaty palms are at a distinct disadvantage. Unfortunately, topical and oral medications, iontophoresis, and surgery have not proven to be efficacious in the majority of patients. In fact surgery can result in compensatory hyperhidrosis in other parts of the body.\n\n"Because the eccrine glands are innervated by sympathetic nerves that use acetylcholine as the neurotransmitter, BOTOX®™ is effective in temporarily reducing or abolishing sweat production in treated areas. Although hyperhidrosis is generally not considered a cosmetic problem, many patients will present to the cosmetic dermatologist for treatment of this embarrassing disorder."\n-derm.net

Yes it can be done without the injection, I do it all the time I hate being numb.  If you have really sensitive teeth it could be quite bothersome though

St. Ives has come out w/ a product that contains cucumber and elasticin in it. honestly who has the time or patience to lay down w/ cucumber slices over their eyes. It differs from other under eye treatments by being all natural and you get a great amount for a very decent price. It is called eye and face stress gel. I have recommended it to many women. We have all become addicted. follow the instructions properly and you can wear it under your make up even. You must let it dry fully before applying any make up. enjoy!  it can be found at any drug store. ask around if you can not find it.

One of the problems with contact lenses is that they can interfere with the oxygen the eye's lens receives from the air (no blood vessels in the lens).  Rabbits have been used for many years to test the effects of new products for irritation in case they get into the human eye.  Humans would have to provide knowledgeale consent to allow chemical eye test (or to check new contact lenses).  Rabbits perform the task without consent, right?

Yes...it is. I used to get shots for a cyst on my foot and the injection area turned almost white (about the size of a quarter).  The same can happen from long term topical corticosteroid use, but much less lightening.  I used them for eczema and the areas are a bit lighter than other places on my body.

Botox will not migrate. Your eye most likely droopped due to injury and irritation. This is very common. Make sure you do your best not to strain your eyes and regardless of whether it hurts or not make sure that you ice it at least once a day to return your eye to normal. Good luck!
