I recently had some cancer removed from my face and both eyes are swollen?
Im sorry youre going through this but yes, what youre describing can be normal after basal cell carcinoma BCC removal, especially when its near the eyes. Heres a breakdown of what youre likely experiencing and when to be concerned Whats Normal After Basal Cell Removal Near the Eye Bruisingswelling around the eyelids Very common, particularly if the procedure involved delicate areas like the inner or outer canthus corners of the eye or eyelid margin. The skin around the eyes is thin and bruises easily. Skin tightness or puckering Healing skin can contract slightly as it forms new tissue, sometimes giving a pulled appearance that can make eyelid movement or makeup application tricky. Crusting, scabbing, or slight discoloration Typical for a few days to weeks, depending on the sizedepth of removal. Difficulty applying makeup If the eyelid is still swollen or healing skin has created a slight ridge or pull, its best to avoid makeup for a bit longer to prevent irritation or infection. When to Call Your Dermatologist or Surgeon Increasing redness, warmth, or puslike drainage Could signal infection. Vision changes, excessive tearing, or sharp eye pain May indicate deeper involvement or complications near the tear duct or muscles. Skin that appears excessively pulled, distorting your eyelid shape May require minor correction, but often improves over time on its own. No healing progress after 23 weeks Could indicate delayed healing or residual cancer, depending on the technique used e.g. Mohs surgery vs excision. READ MORE

Should I use eye drops for red-eye?
Using eye drops for red-eye can be helpful, but it depends on the cause. Heres a quick guide: Use lubricating/artificial tears if: Your eyes are red due to dryness, irritation, or tiredness. Youre exposed to wind, screens, or dry air. Use allergy eye drops (antihistamine) if: Redness is due to seasonal allergies or pet dander. You also have itching, tearing, or swelling. Avoid redness relief drops with vasoconstrictors (like tetrahydrozoline) for frequent use: They may temporarily reduce redness by shrinking blood vessels.
