Hi,
Are you allergic to any specific substances? Have you had allergic reactions in
the past?
'Puffy eyes can result from a number of causes, including:
* Heredity
* Fluid retention such as due to changes in weather or hormone levels
* Allergies or dermatitis, especially if puffiness is accompanied by redness
and itching
* Certain medications
* Kidney or thyroid dysfunction.'
'There are a number of steps you can take to prevent and reduce mild under-eye
puffiness:
* Get enough sleep at night. For most adults, seven to eight hours a night
appears to be the best amount of sleep.
* Sleep with your head slightly raised. Add an extra pillow or prop up the
head of your mattress. This helps prevent fluids from accumulating around your
eyes as you sleep.
* While sitting up, apply a cool tap water compress to the skin under your
eyes for a few minutes. You can also use chilled cucumber slices, a refrigerated
gel mask or chilled, damp tea bags.
* Reduce allergy symptoms. Avoid allergens when possible, and ask your
doctor about over-the-counter or prescription allergy medications.'

If puffiness is severe and persistent or you notice swelling (edema) in other
parts of your body, see your doctor.

doing.
