A member asked:

What to do about constant red, puffy bags under the eyes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many things: Allergies, eyelid infection (blepharitis or meibomianitis), thyroid disease, or laxity of the connective tissue around the eye that causes the fat pads around the eyeball to "push" forward called dermatochalasis. You should see your doctor.
