Allergic reaction to eye cream?!
Question:
Allergic reaction to eye cream?
the skin underneath my eyes is pinkish and a little puffy. i think its because i used my sisters eye cream last night and this morning and i must be allergic to it. but, im seeing some friends tomorrow. how do i get the skin back to normal??? its not that bad. hopefully itll just be gone by the time i wake up, but what if it gets worse? any suggestions?
Answers:
It is a good idea not to share cosmetics and eye creams because you can pass icky bacteria that can cause an infection. You might be allergic. I would suggest you be gentle and remove all the cream, use cool compresses on your eyes, and the swelling and redness should resolve. If it gets worse, the signs of infection are redness, swelling, pain and pus (which you might experience as green eye discharge). If this happens seek medical advice. Call your doctor or Nurse Practioner.
