Causes of long lasting red splotcheses under the eyes? – Dr. Rasya Dixit



Undereye area is a very sensitive area. When we see a red patch, that means there is an eczema. In this area contact dermatitis could be the cause because we are touching this area with any allergen on our finger. If these red splotches are associated with redness or irritation or drying or scaling of the areas, we are looking at a kind of eczema. So go to a dermatologist to find out the causes. Another cause could be any indiscriminate skin lightening cream, which are used for the under eye area. Some of them contain steroids. It can then out the skin and cause the red splotches to appear. Such red patches more than 3 months need medical attention. So seek advice from a dermatologist who can give you the right guidance.
