Bump under left eye

eye problem

 

Right after I finished dinner, a soft and itchy bump grew on the skin under my eye. It is about as long as that eye and grew along the edge of that skin. Is this an allergic reaction or something else? How can I help it? It really annoys me!

Hi Jerry,

 

It's possible that what you're describing is a hive, which is an allergic skin reaction, often to foods. But there's no way to know that for sure without a physical exam. My advice is if this is still bothering you that you make an appointment to see your doctor.

 

Good luck!

An allergy is the immune system's over-reaction to a normally harmless substance called an allergen.
