What Causes Dark Area In Corner Of Eye
Hi there, ever since my baby was born 6 weeks ago, hes had a dark area at the corner of his eyes. It looks like bruising & you can only see it when he looks to the side (not when hes looking directly ahead). I originally thought it was bruising due to the birth as he made a quick entrance & was a little shocked on arrival, but it is still there 6 weeks later. Is this something I need to be concerned about? He goes for his immunisations next week, should I bring it up with my Dr? I dont remember my other children having this when they were little. Regards, Amber

Hi,
From history it seems that during birth there might be having some trauma in sclera giving rise sub conjunctival hemorrhage producing this red area in corner of eye.
Geadually it will be absorbed.
But to be on safe side consult ophthalmologist to rule out to rule out any internal injury in eye.
Put antibiotic eye drops for few days.
Ok and take care.
