Question 1

what does it mean if i have a red line under my eye?

Accepted Answer

Eye or eyelid?: If eye, could be prominent normal blood vessel, a small conjunctival hemorrhage, or sign of mild inflammation. If lid, possible blepharitis eyelid inflammation. If it persists i would seek out care.

can you get tiny broken capillary (like tiny red dot or line)under eye from constipation straining or weight lift?i get lots when i cry since a kid,but what can cause just 1or2 of them occasionally?my aunt has the same issue.they leave after 2 days?

Accepted Answer

: Yes. The problem is often labeled coughing petechiae since it is seen frequently after the strain of coughing or vomiting raises capillary pressure. The findings are generally limited to the neck and above &amp; may involve the face/whites of the eyes/nearby eye tissues, etc. By itself it does not indicate any significant medical problem.

Question 3

what could sudden itchiness and redness right under eyes mean?

Accepted Answer

: Allergy.

Question 4

my 2.5 yo has some redness under his eyes. is that the same as those when older people have black under eyes?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Redness under the eyes of a small child could be many issues.  The most common would be allergies or any other source of eye irritation leading to chronic rubbing.  This is different from the black under the eyes of adults.  You should have the child evaluated for the cause of the redness/inflammation so it can be properly treated.

Question 5

can wearing an eye mask to sleep cause under-eye redness?

Accepted Answer

May: If the mask is too tight fit or the person has an allergic reaction to the the mask material.  Please make sure that the fit is right.  Cotton mask are less allergenic.

Question 6

i have never had skin issues but suddenly have what appears to be eczema and psoriasis. also, redness and swelling under eyes intermittently.

Accepted Answer

Eczema: Skins issues can develop at any point. Sometimes this can happen for unclear reasons while at other times it could be related to medications, other conditions and photosensitivity etc. You should avoid sun exposure and plan to see a dermatologist as soon as possible. You can also see your PCP.

i need to find a way to get rid of these under eye veins and redness. i am only 18 and its not right.

Accepted Answer

Art tears, sleep: Your linked image doesn't show enough detail to see any blood vessels in the eye or red eye. The most common causes in your age group are dry eye and mild radiation burns from too much computer use. Artificial tears, sleep, and a radiation reducing screen over your monitor should solve your problem. Allergy is a possibility, but you would probably have itchy eyes.

Question 8

under eye redness-cause and treatment. area under left eye red puffy and little sore?

Accepted Answer

Could be a stye: This might be an obstructed gland in the eyelid.  If there only mild swelling or tenderness and no double vision or visual loss, try some warm compresses for a few days.

Question 9

2days ago i woke up with a bump on lower lid and redness on eyelid. now my under eye is swollen puffy and red. classic stye progression?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Given the timing of the symptoms, most likely it is a stye and not a chalazion.  Continue using wash compresses as much as possible.  It the pain or swelling worsens, then a topical or oral antibiotic may be required.

Question 10

on/off face swelling. began by jaw, then cheekbone, then by nose, now under eye. all left side. no pain/redness. dentist found nothing w/ xray. help!

Accepted Answer

See an oral surgeon: Your description is vague.. on/off meaning what? Every hour, once a day, week, or month? How long does it last? Is swelling hard or soft? Obviously something is causing your condition, and it just may not be your teeth.
