How long does a swollen eye crease heal?

Dr. Amin Ashrafzadeh answered

Specializes in Ophthalmology

Depends: Depends on the cause! use some cool compresses and may be slight Hydrocortisone cream. If you use the cream more than a few days and it doesn't solve the problem, then you need to see an ophthalmologist.
