Swelling below the left eye
The skin below the left eye starts puffing up. Doesn't hurt at all, just a tiny pinch while squeezing the eyes or blinking. Started happening post applying Kajal. It had reduced to normal however yesterday started puffing again after coming back from office in dust. Why is it puffing? Is it some infection?
Also, there's no redness or loss of vision etc, just puffiness that too for the left eye.
