Are there any dermatologists or doctors here that know why I have these red marks under my eyes?

[Malita55]

They keep getting worse and I dont know why. I am very well hydrated, I only use very mild facial cleansers and I dont use anything that should cause this. I have a routine of putting Vitamin C oil, moisturizer, and eye cream on every morning. I dont understand how the eye cream could be causing this but maybe I should stop using it and see?

Since the redness is mostly on one side, that pretty much rules out a sunburn (or your nose would be much redder too). Your skin in that area IS thinner than, say, the apples of your cheeks, so showing the capillaries through the thinner skin may have some bearing here. Contact dermatitis seems the most likely, with an "overdose" on the Vitamin C seeming the most logical culprit. As others mentioned, wash your face thoroughly with a mild castile soap a couple times a day for a week to clear the skin of residual contaminants. Then, begin to use one product for a couple days, then stop for the remainder of the week. Use this weekly regime to find the problem substance.
If this doesn't turn up something, check with the dermatologist. I worked at a spa where a standard facial ingredient was a Vitamin A and C complex. It really did plump the skin (making it appear tighter) , but the most commons side effects were burning and redness, especially if one used more than a teensy-weensy little dab.

Omg that you so much for all the detail i really appreciate it!

[Massageman]

No problem- glad to provide it. I hope this helps.

Yeah could just be something in the cream that you're allergic to. Perhaps stop it and see what happens. Of it doesn't go away then consult a dermatologist.

[Malita55]

Thank you for the advice 😊

[Jo1991]

Or try getting an allergy test done.

On a side note, you have great eyes ☺️ beautiful colour

[Genie23]

It looks like an allergy. Did you start using a different eye cream/gel or facewash or moisturiser recently? If that's the case, stop using it immediately and please go to a doctor.

I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV.
It looks like an allergic reaction to something.

[Malita55]

Thank you! 😊

Clean your face completely off, and then slowly experiment until you find the culprit.
I once bought some dirt cheap lotion at the store, and put some on my face. The next day it looked like I put battery acid on my face. It took weeks to heal.

But this same lotion may have been fine for someone else. You just never know.

[ragequeen]

It could be dryness or you have really sensitive skin in that particular area. It can also be from tiredness or a mark from a recent episode of crying.

[Pink1996]

You're pretty<3
I agree with the other user stating that it might be an allergic reaction?
Think back to what you did that day that might have triggered the redness.

[Parkwayvwhitechapel]

Eww I'm not attracted to you as much as before now thanks to that photo

[Malita55]

You think i give a shit? 😂 im trying to get answers, not compliments.

[Parkwayvwhitechapel]

salty because i no longer like you, i see

[Parkwayvwhitechapel]

its not y my fault, that pictures makes you look ugly

[Guanfei]

It almost look like what I sometimes have but doesn't seem that bad. If it's where you put that creme, you most likely have your culprit here. Try to stop the creme for a few days and see if it gets better.

[ohskippy]

Have you tried a different cream as it might be something that might be causing that redness, as it has nothing to do with hydration by the looks of it

[thatsjustme1]

It seems like a reaction from some cream. Your skin might be sensitive so use natural products maybe.

[Muhammad1999]

Maybe because your skin there is thin so blood circulating there is seen.

[NightOwl8801]

It's not dry skin since you moisturize.
You could be having a little reaction to one of the products

[Philyouup]

First, you are far from unattractive, As far as the rash, See a doc.

[TheScaryDoor]

Just be glad you don't have dark circles around your eyes like me

[Nadim171]

Well I think it might be the eye cream. But maybe also because you don't sleep enough?
But you look pretty :)

[esotericstory]

I would say from cocaine, but I am not a dermatologist.

[Anonymous]

You're beautiful 😍

I had similar issue, you're not supposed to, but I put hydrocortisone around my eye and it helped me.

[Paris13]

Perioral Dermatitis.
Lok it up. xx

[Paris13]

See your Doctor who may have to Refer you to a Dermatologist. xx

[Malita55]

Wow i think you're exactly right! Thank you so much

[ZELLxoxo]

Did these appear after using the eye cream?

[Malita55]

The thing is that im not too sure. I feel like it started happening several months after starting to use the eye cream. But i could just have a minor allergy to something in it that i keep re exposing myself to

[ZELLxoxo]

Maybe you are allergic to something in the eye cream.. I'd stop using it if I were you and see what happens.
Also, I'm not a dermatologist lol

[ZELLxoxo]

Don't listen to those idiots commenting on your looks. You look good :)

[alice55]

I think it's some allergies

[ArcticHamsters]

I don't know what it is. I hope you live
