A tumor under one or both eyes can be triggered by edema, colds, or injuries. Depending on the cause of the problem, the treatment will be different. From this article you will learn how to remove the swelling and bruising under the eye as soon as possible.
External anatomy of the eye
The face area around the eyeball has its own structural features:
- The upper eyelid extends all the way to the superciliary arch, which separates it from the forehead.
- The lower one is under the eye arch, connecting to the skin of the cheek area and forming folds. It is in this area that excess fluid most often accumulates, which becomes the cause of swelling and swelling. If the area around the eye was injured, then blood accumulates in this area, which also leads to swelling and the formation of a hematoma (bruise).
- The nasolacrimal fold (it is also often called the nasolacrimal fold) passes below and to the side of the inner cantal region. It extends along the deepening of the circular muscle of the eye. It is also adjacent to the muscle that lifts the upper lip.
The circular muscle of the eye is very fragile and is easily damaged even with household injuries. The skin around the eyes is thin and sensitive, which makes it easy to form tumors and swelling under the eyes.
What arises from
The causes of a tumor under the eye are most often two:
- swelling (due to fluid retention, allergies, etc.);
- trauma (household damage to the tissue around the eye, nose, nose, temple or a blow received during a fight).
Both of these causes are not a threat to the patient’s health and, with due effort, are easy to treat. After a short treatment, puffiness around the eyes can be forgotten for a long time. Allergy sufferers should find an antihistamine for themselves, which they will take continuously as a means to prevent swelling.
The causes of a tumor under the eye on the one hand are most often when injured. With swelling, due to fluid retention or allergies, the lower eyelids swell on both sides, symmetrically with respect to the bridge of the nose. If the eyelid swells on only one side, you need to remember if there were any random strokes (for example, when falling).
How to remove a tumor under the eyes if it is provoked by an injury or a blow? There are many effective ways. The faster the therapy begins, the more likely the hematoma will not be obvious and will quickly go away without leaving a trace. But you should not count on a period of less than one week, if we are talking about a bruise, and less than two days, if the problem concerns the tumor.
Symptoms of injury to the eye area
Traumatologist visitors sometimes do not remember whether there was a blow to the temple, nose, or eyeball. Often patients are drunk, and when they see a tumor in the morning under one or both eyes, they are very surprised where it could come from?
If the cause of the tumor is trauma, then after three to four hours, blood will begin to accumulate at the site of the hematoma. The closer it concentrates to the skin, the more noticeable the bruise will be. It can range from bright purple to pale blue depending on the amount of blood in the vicinity of the upper layers of the skin. The more superficial the hematoma is, the faster it can be cured. And if the blood has accumulated deep enough under the skin, therapy can take a long time: about three to four weeks.
It rarely happens that patients really do not notice domestic injuries, being sober. For example, women in attempts to do the cleaning try to reach the most difficult and farthest sections - as a result, they can slightly hit the temple with a corner. Such a light blow is immediately forgotten, but after a few hours it can cause the formation of a tumor and hematoma in the lower eyelid.
If we are talking about a street fight, in which the face most often suffers, then we can almost certainly say that multiple hematomas form. A bruising under the eye after a strong punch can pass for weeks. Consultation with an ophthalmologist is necessary, since if the blood vessels of the eyeball have been damaged, it is necessary to use therapeutic drops to prevent a decrease in the clarity of vision.
First Aid on Impact
How can a person who has just received a blow to the temple, eyebrow, nose bridge or eyeball help prevent the development of a hematoma? Here are the simple rules:
- The first and most important helper is the cold. If the injury occurred indoors, you should get ice or a piece of frozen meat in polyethylene from the freezer and attach it to the place of impact. If the injury occurred on the street, then you can buy in a nearby store ice water in a bottle and attach to the superciliary arch. When the bottle warms up, it will become useless.
- If it is not possible to immediately apply cold and ice to the place of impact, you should try to make a compress. Moisten a piece of cotton rag with water. It will be pleasant to cool the skin. Apply it to the place of impact for five to ten minutes, until the compress becomes warm.
- Make sure that after the stroke the patient did not receive a concussion. If he fainted or vomited, then most likely he received a head injury. In some cases, it may be a concussion. It is necessary to deliver it to the nearest department of traumatology for further examination. If the patient is unable to move himself, an ambulance should be called.
- The use of ointments and creams that absorb hematoma (accumulation of blood under the skin) is advisable not only after the bruise has formed. "Troxevasin" or "Troxerutin" can serve as an excellent prevention of hematoma formation. For this, the gel must be applied with a thin layer on the region of the lower and upper eyelids and left until completely absorbed. This method will help reduce the total area of the bruise, which will certainly form.
The bruise and swelling under the eye will be much less if the necessary preventive measures are taken immediately after the injury. Of course, with a nose fracture or a black eye, no way can prevent the formation of large hematomas. Treating such bruises can take months. And if we are talking about simple household injury or a minor blow, first aid and prevention can really be effective.
"Troxevasin" for the treatment of a tumor under the eye
The drug is sold in two forms of release: capsules for oral administration and a gel of 2%. Most often used to treat hemorrhoidal disease, varicose veins, venous insufficiency and phlebitis of various etiologies.

- strengthening the walls of capillaries;
- decrease in inflammatory response;
- accelerate the regeneration of skin cells;
- dissolution of fluid accumulated in the subcutaneous tissue.
How to remove a tumor and a black eye using Troxevasin? It is necessary to apply the gel with a thin layer on the affected area, avoiding the area too close to the eyelid. If the gel enters the mucous membrane of the eye, a burn may occur, this cannot be allowed. The gel itself should not cause any pain. Apply the product on the skin five to six times a day.
If the patient experiences pain and pain when applying the gel, tearing begins - this indicates an allergic reaction to Troxevasin. Do not use this tool - you can provoke an even larger tumor and swelling of the tissue. Allergies to gel components are rare. Patients usually tolerate this drug well.
The cost of Troxevasin is about three hundred rubles per tube of 40 grams. This gel has a cheap analogue of domestic production - this is Troxerutin.

Heparin ointment for bruising and puffiness under the eye

May contribute to the effective resorption of congestion under the skin of the blood. Thanks to this action, it has long been used effectively in dermatology to quickly heal bruises.
How to quickly remove the tumor under the eye as soon as possible (five to seven days)? You can try to combine the use of "Troxevasin" and heparin ointment. To do this, every hour you need to lubricate the affected area with gel or ointment. When too much layer accumulates on the skin, gently wipe it off with a cotton pad moistened with clean water. Heparin ointment can cause burns to the mucous membrane of the eye, so in no case should it be applied too close to the edge of the eyelid.
How to remove a tumor under the eye after an impact, if only heparin ointment is at hand? Well, this remedy is quite enough for effective treatment. If there is only a tumor, without a bruise, the ointment will help to reduce it already on the second day. If you still have a bruise, it will take more time: about two weeks to return a presentable appearance to the face.
To obtain the maximum effect, you should use heparin ointment once every two hours, apply a thin layer on the bruise and tumor area, then drive it into the skin with light patting movements.
Gel "Badyaga": principle of action and effectiveness
This is the most popular remedy for swelling and bruising on the face and body. It is quite painful to use.

How to remove the swelling under the eye after hitting with the "Tramp"? If the goal is to prevent the development of a bruise, then apply the product as soon as possible after the impact. If you delay, a hematoma will begin to form. Apply generously the gel at the site of impact and the area of the tumor every ten to fifteen minutes. Alternate with the application of ice and cold objects.
"Solcoseryl" and "Bepanten" in the fight against a tumor and a hematoma under the eye
These funds do not have the ability to dissolve blood clots that have accumulated under the surface of the skin. But they have an excellent soothing and mild analgesic effect.
Cream "Solcoseryl" as the main active ingredient contains deproteinized dialysate from the blood of healthy dairy calves, which has excellent regenerating properties. Depending on the depth of blood accumulation in the hematoma, the cream may have a slight effect that accelerates blood circulation. Of course, in comparison with heparin ointment or Troxevasin, this cream will lose. But with its use, the tumor and hematoma will come down faster. It is optimal to alternate the use of Solcoseryl with the Badyaga gel.
"Bepanten" in its properties is similar to "Solcoseryl". The active ingredient is dexpanthenol, which has excellent regenerating, moisturizing and nourishing effects.
