Yesterday I was crying ALOT (more than I ever have in my life) and whenever I cry my eyes get baggy, no big deal, they always go back to normal. But this time they didn't(I should mention my eyes actually did start hurting because I was crying so much) . I went to sleep last night and when I woke up I could barely open my eyes. When I looked in the mirror I looked REALLY scary, and to top things off today is picture day. ANyone know how to fet rid of this puffiness. I have used hot towels and and cold spoons but they haven't seemed to work. My mom seems to think I may have had an allergic reaction to something. I did have disposable gloves on yesterday. but I've worn them before and never had this problem.

I think you mom is right. It sounds like contact dermatitis, which is a temporary allergic reaction to something that has irritated your skin. You need a specialist cream to reduce the swelling. Try the pharmacist who can recommend a steroid cream such as hydrocortisone. I wouldn't use any of your usual lotions or any cucumbers, which will only sting and cause more irritation! Good luck.

I have had the same problem. Try cold teabags or cucumber or do what i did and that was to stand under a cool shower for about 10 mins.
Good luck

Hi there, this sounds weird, but it works, i've done it myself. Usea round teabag, dunk in hot water, take out and let cool (still dripping) on a plate. then put in the fridge. you need two, one per eye. When its cold, put on eyelids and area like cucumber. The combination of the cold and the tannin, an ingredient in tea, soothes and calms the swelling. i know it sounds weird, but i promise you it works. Or old fashioned cucumber slices can help.

As bad as this sounds, use Preparation H. It is used for swelling and it works.
