Question
The child has been born for a short while, and their eyes always tear up, and they tend to cry a lot. What’s the situation when a child’s under-eye area turns blue?
Answer
This condition might be subcutaneous hemorrhage, which can appear as pinpoint spots known as petechiae; it can also manifest as a large area. If there are no compressive symptoms, no treatment may be necessary. Severe hematoma may require aspiration or incision. Since there are various causes of eye-related aesthetic issues, it is essential to understand the cause before treatment and to follow the principle of symptomatic treatment. Moreover, precautions in daily care are indispensable. It is recommended to eat less spicy food and more eye-protective foods.
