Posted on Wed, 12 Sep 2012
Question: Hello I woke up today with red circles around both eyes from the eyelid all the way down to the bags u receive from sleeping. It's all really red and noticeable looks like I'm wearing a mask around both eyes. What has caused this and what can I do for it to heal up?

Hi XXXXXXX,
Thanks for writing in to Heathcare Magic!
This type of redness of sudden onset is mostly due to allergy.
The hypersensitivity can be to anything say a new fairness cream or soap or anything around under the sun that you have applied recently.
In that case you need to apply a local hydrocortisone cream thrice a day. and take tablet levocetirizine 5 mg once a day for 5 days.
If the discoloration is XXXXXXX then it may indicate a Panda's sign of head injury.
In that case you have a history of head bang against something.
It would have been better if you could load a foto.
If you have any further query please let me know I would try to answer it for you.
Wish you a great health!

Hi XXXXXXXA
Welcome back to Heathcare Magic!
Offoh, to ye baat hai!
Now you should avoid any further application of this cleaner and note down it's content and avoid it in future as well.
You can start the treatment I have always mentioned, it will take two days to control and 5-7 days to heal.
Wish you a great health!
