“Eye swelling?”
However, 3 months later eyes both eyes are still swollen (the right eye is much worse) but only the skin underneath the eyes there was no itching or burning until 2 days ago. Looks like I have bags under my eyes. All blood tests are normal. No itching at all now for months. Hydrocortisone has little or no effect. I've been taking an antihistamine for 3 days and have had no improvement.
Two days ago the skin, under the right eye only, started looking slightly red and creased or wrinkled as it did when the problem first started. I applied moisturizer and it burned but the redness has gone away but the swelling/bag under this eye has become bigger. Somedays the eyes are more swollen than others (especially the right eye) but the swelling never completely goes away. What could this be?
