Is Black Eye With Greenish Skin Around The Eye Normal While Having ADEM?

Family member recently diagnosed with ADEM. Finished steroids, IV and PO regimen at home. Awaiting LP. Tody, the skin around his eyes is greenish/dark looking. One eye has the greenish circle around the bottom, top and side of the eye. The other eye looks like a black eye. Thank you

Hello,

I don't think that black eye and greenish circles can be related to ADEM. I think you may consider visiting your dermatologist soon. It may be related to corticosteroid usage.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
