Are Very Dark Eyebags And Eyelids Apart From Sensitivity In The Eyes Along With Itching?

I have very dark eyebags, my eyelids are also pretty dark. My eyes got pretty sensitive as they itch too much, and once I get in touch with fluid it smells odd (like some sort of metallic odor?) Last couple of months I got weird bumps on my eyes as well, most common I have found to it on the internet was milia, there was 1 bump on one eyelid but then it appeared on another one, also under eyes and I am kind of worried about it. What do I do? I do have history with allergies but It was always balanced, but this is getting out of hands..

Hello,

You are suggested to maintain better hygiene, Take bath / shower regularly and clean your face with antibacterial soap or a herbal face wash. Do not touch your face with dirty hands, avoid exposure to direct sunlight. Avoid taking food that triggers the symptoms.

Avoid the use of makeup and cosmetic beauty products on face. Take antihistamine at bedtime. It will help to reduce the symptoms of allergy. Take quality sleep of at least 8 hours at night. Lack of sleep causes dark eyebags. Do not scratch, or touch. Get clinically examined by a dermatologist to confirm milia or any other skin condition like chicken skin, etc.

Your treatment will depend on the skin condition diagnosed. Retinol creams will be used as treatment as the build-up of keratin and dead cells get reduced with it. To exfoliate and remove dead skin Microdermabrasion is useful. Chemical peels help the return of fresh skin. Milia is commonly treated with cryotherapy or deroofing.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
