Wrinkles under eyes at 20 yrs of age

[rick8375]

i recently accidently produced wrinkles under my eyes from trying to rub soap out of my eyes in the shower, the soap , and i tried getting it out in the shower by rubbing my eyes because they were stinging and since soap on skin creates a lot of friction i discovered i got wrinkles the next day and the skin under my eyes its a bit more corse than usual. i must of stretched the fibres of my skin im only 20. after 2 days the wrinkles got a bit better but after 7 days they seemed to get worse again but the skin coarseness left. im wondering if because im young if my skin will heal its sellf and if the wrinkles will eventually fade away or will they stay. I've been using pure alo vera gel to remove wrinkles under my eyes (hope that doesnt make the wrinkles worse). I'm hoping they heal and vanish after while since im only 20 and my skin is young. when my eyes are open and not scrunched up the wrinkles just look like lines but when i scrunch my face up they look a lot deeper and more defined.

Hey Rick - had a similar situation where it one instance caused a long horizontal line under my eye - it's hard to believe that one instance of rubbing could be permanent but any advice on your situation would be super appreciated. How did it turn out?

Hello,
For such wrinkles under the eyes, eat healthy nutritious food containing lots of green vegetables. Try to avoid caffeine, because it promotes water retention and leads to the dryness of the eye. You should also apply almond oil or skin creams containing vit E or K,alpha hydroxyl acids and kinetin.

If the symptoms persist then get it checked from a dermatologist.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
