Already during about 1.5 month hypostasis under an eye does not disappear!
It is complexly story, I can explain shortly what happened: About 1.5 months back I was impact in area of an eye bone, first has appeared a small bluish swelling near an eye is closer to a temple, then next day it flew under an eye - and the bruise with a swelling(like hypostasis) was formed.
Then I wanted to get rid of a bruise faster and started to spread special gel against bruises - 5 times each day (during 2 days). At 3th day of using this gel I decided to stop. And after I have washed off it in shower - as usually I have smeared the face with a usual cream with ehter oils and I have received а burn of a skin in area around of eye, because after washing off of any gels against bruises it is dangerously to render a fat cream with oils - will be burn (as I have found out later). I did not begin to do anything and have gone to bed.
Next day the skin around eye became overdried and rude with some dimness. Then I have gone to a drugstore and have asked something from burns (if it was possible to render around of an eye).
But as I already was afraid to spread something - I have decided to not spread anything medical any more. I just greased area around of an eye with a children's humidifying cream (the skin overdried from burn)- at first frequently, after - less often and less often...
The skin was softened (though some dimness remained still), and the the bruise has disappeared for a long time, BUT HYPOSTASIS(SWELLING) UNDER THE EYE DOES NOT DISSAPEAR STILL. Since impact this hypostasis has not decreased at all. what that? why so long - it is normal? what the reason why the hypostasis under an eye does not dissapear - it is the same hypostasis that from impact or it is alreay from other - from any gel/creme for example? or it is a burn has affected? or because of both? what to do and not to do?
and any way - this hypostasis will disappear sometime at all?
thanx!

Some 44 years ago I burned my scalp with scalding hot water under a shower prior to swimming at the YMCA. I developed a very itchy follicle infection afterwards, that grew slowly and resulted in over 30 sores. None of the 20+ Dermatologist I visited achieved any improvement. I tried lotions, potions, light treatments, red pulse laser light used to remove birth marks, etc.. Nothing helped. They never took a tissue sample to analyze.
Recently I read Hydrogen Peroxide is anti-bacterial & anti-fungus. It turns to O2 & Water when it hits the blood stream, a MD told me.
So a couple of weeks ago I started injecting a diluted solution directly into the sores. Most of the smaller red spots cleared up, and the larger sores are showing progress. Have you ever heard of Peroxide being used like this previously?
My Mother died from a skin cancer on her ear lobe, that grew and she was afraid of an operation for some reason. If Hydrogen Peroxide injections had been into the sore when it was small, would it have killed the cancer? Seems logical to me.

kbmom75~ Sebum, the stuff that helps lubricate our skin can actually get stuck in pores and Keratinize (harden) so that when it finally gets pulled out it looks like a tiny grain of rice. Exfoliating will NOT get rid of these because it's literally like an Iceberg. the part stuck in the oil gland is much bigger than the little hard bump poking out of the skin.
I get these occasionally and they are really hard to get out. sometimes tweezers can work. You should go see a dermatologist about it because he/she will have other options to use other things instead of exfoliators.
Sincerely,
Cindie

I have these hard rice like sticks of oil that are in my facial pores. It started in a small cluster at the corner of my nose just above my upper lip a year ago. At first I thought it was a cold sore because it seemed to have that appearance and then I noticed that there were these hard rice like things that if I scraped against them with my fingernail I could pull them out - however, they would not come out if you squeezed them. Then they would eventually come back. They have now spread and seem to be all over my face and even my neck. What could this be. I have lately been exfoliating way to much just to keep them from looking so bad but my skin is getting very dry - Is there any treatment for this - has anyone out there had success in treating this?
