Bruises under the eyes: all the causes of aesthetic nuisance

Causes of bruises under the eyes

The causes of dark circles under the eyes in men are the following:

• Smoking and increased alcohol consumption. Men are more likely than women to abuse alcohol and smoke. Nicotine and products containing alcohol stimulate improper blood circulation. First, the vessels narrow sharply and then expand. As a result, the walls cannot withstand the load and the vessels burst. Swelling and discoloration of the area around the eyes occurs. Essentially, this is microtrauma.
• Overload at work. Sitting for a long time behind the wheel or in front of a monitor screen, heavy physical labor or chronic lack of sleep - all this is often experienced by representatives of the stronger sex. Visual stress or lack of sleep leads to stagnation of blood, which contributes to the appearance of bruises. And due to increased physical activity, blood vessels burst.
• Diseases of internal organs. Men usually take less care of themselves, do not eat properly and do not exercise. All together contribute to the development of problems with the liver, heart or pancreas. The appearance of bruises under the eyes signals the body about internal problems.
• Impact to the eye or mechanical injuries.

In women, the development of bruises under the eyes is usually associated with the abuse of cosmetics or the characteristics of the female body. For example, they may appear due to the following reasons:

• Use of cosmetics. Often using cosmetics, girls expose the delicate skin around the eyes to aggressive chemical effects. The appearance of bruises in this case is an individual reaction of the body;
• Features of the epidermis. Women generally have thinner skin, and the area around the eyes is already delicate. In total, this creates a greater risk of developing a defect. In addition, women are more likely to suffer from closer capillaries than men;
• Sharp weight loss. Ladies are more concerned about their appearance and often go on various diets. Sudden loss of body weight negatively affects the condition of the skin. It can become sharply thin, leading to bruising.

Any responsible parent should be concerned if they notice dark circles under their child's eyes. After all, they may indicate serious disturbances in the functioning of the body. This defect often appears due to the following reasons:

• Anemia. Due to low hemoglobin levels, oxygen starvation occurs. As a result, this cosmetic defect develops;
• Helminthiasis. The activity of helminths is accompanied by the release of toxins, which contributes to the appearance of bruises under the eyes;
• Poor nutrition. Lack of vitamins or minerals necessary for a developing body can cause bruises under the eyes. Adjust your child's diet by adding more vegetables and fruits. Reduce your consumption of unhealthy foods and various sweets;
• Lack of daily routine. A small child needs both constant physical activity and timely rest. Provide him with a proper daily routine, including walks in the fresh air. All this will help keep the child’s body in good shape and relieve him of an unpleasant defect.

Bruising and swelling under the eyes: when the causes are external factors

It is important to remember that a black eye does not appear without a reason. If no prerequisites for the formation of an unpleasant bruise or swelling are found, it is necessary not to ignore this fact and evaluate the quality of the cosmetics used. Cheap products from unverified companies often cause red circles under the eyes - the reasons lie in allergic reactions to dangerous synthetic components.

Inexpensive products contain a lot of hazardous substances, which allows unscrupulous manufacturers to save on the production of goods.

Additional factors that will cause dark circles under the eyes in some people include:

1. Sunlight - without protective glasses, especially during periods of increased solar activity, you should not appear on the street.
2. Hormonal contraceptives. They can lead to changes in water balance, metabolic processes and form bruises under the eyes - good reasons for refusing to take medications or choosing new ones.
3. Cold or hot. Uncomfortable living or working conditions lead to the formation of various pathologies.
4. Fast food products - fast food - is a real scourge of our time, in which every person is in a hurry somewhere and eats whatever they need on the go. Restaurants and cafes, small kiosks and shops offer snack products that quickly satisfy hunger, but do not bring any benefit to the body.
5. Excessive consumption of French fries and cola the day before can cause the child to look pale and have bruises under the eyes - the reasons are due to an imbalance in water balance.
6. High caffeine consumption. It is found not only in coffee beans, but also in green and black tea. If a coffee drinker does not want to have a bruise under his right eye in the morning, the cause should be ruled out in the evening. You should not drink coffee or tea at night.

Treatment of bruises under the eyes

If bruises under the eyes are not due to external influences, you should consult a doctor. Since the cause of bruises under the eyes can be various diseases and pathologies, precise treatment of specific cases should be carried out only after a thorough diagnosis of the patient. After diagnosis, the doctor will offer effective treatment for the disease that caused the dark circles under the eyes. In addition to medications, an important element of treatment is changing the usual life schedule:

• give up bad habits. Cigarettes and alcohol must be listed as prohibited substances;
• Use sun protection products. Wear glasses, they will help reduce the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation;
• take proper care of your skin. Wash off cosmetics and do not use expired products;
• establish a proper daily routine. Increase your sleep time, it should be at least 8 hours. Reduce the time you spend in front of a computer monitor. Take more walks;
• eat right. Reduce your consumption of fatty and salty foods. Eat foods high in iron. For example, liver, beef, apples, etc.

How to quickly remove a black eye after a blow

If a black eye occurs after a blow or injury, medications that promote the healing of hematomas will help get rid of it.

Troxevasin

Troxevasin causes an increase in the elasticity of the walls of blood vessels and increases the rate of healing of damage. You don’t have to rub the ointment in – it is quickly absorbed. Apply every two hours and apply a thin layer.

Bruise-Off

The drug Bruise-Off is actively used by professional athletes. It not only accelerates tissue microcirculation, but also has a tonic effect on the vascular system.

Thanks to improved lymphatic drainage, the color of the damaged area quickly returns to its original appearance. In addition, the gel has a toning property, since its color matches the shade of the skin.

Lyoton

Typically, Lyoton ointment is used only for the treatment of edema and varicose veins. However, due to the substances in the composition that have a thinning effect on the blood, it can be used in the treatment of bruises.

Use the product three times a day. Avoid getting the product on mucous membranes and open wounds.

Heparin ointment

Heparin ointment will not only help relieve swelling, but also have an anesthetic effect. Heparin helps to dilate blood vessels and improve blood supply, which causes accelerated healing of injured areas.

It is better not to rub the ointment, but to drive it in with light movements. Apply a thin layer and avoid contact with eyes. Use the medicine only on damaged areas. Do not use the drug for more than 10 days.
