Specifically the eyes. I can still see, but it looks weird because it s swollen. How do I take that away? That goes away right?!

Hello,
Thanks for the query,

Its good that you are applying aloe vera,

However aloe vera alone will not help you,

Apply a mild steroid lotion like desonide,

This will help in controlling inflammation.

In day apply some sunscreen.

Also take an antihistamine tablet.

This will give you some relief.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
