A member asked:

How do i get rid of puffiness under my eye as a result of scratching my eye lid?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Do not scratch!: You can try cool compresses, do not scratch. Sounds like you may have allergies to something (soap, creams etc.), if so discontinue using. If allergic to something in environment, oral antihistamines may help as well.
