Undereye bags

[Grammy1960]

Hello everyone. I was just wondering if anyone out that has had problems with darks circles under eyes !! I am currently on Ibrance 75mg plus Exemestane 25mg fir MBC. Started treatment January 2019. I used to have bags under eyes pre treatment, but not like this. I was always able to use concealer to cover them and it always did. Now, concealet or anything else will cover the bags up. I am very self conscious about them. Does anyone have the same problem being on these meds? Also, suggestions please to hide my bags. Your help is appreciated. Thank you.

Are you drinking enough ? I get black eyes and bags when I’m not.

I drink plenty of water. Thanks for answering.

I've had bags for years. They are hereditary but have gotten worse with age and meds!

Yes, I too have dark circles under my eyes and was always happy that they were not bags. Now I somehow have both dark circles and bags. Ams saving on makeup and hide-a-bag cream because of covid. No socialization means no make=up. There are some good things to be said for covid. Oops!

Yes! Mine are blue bags. When I saw them popping up after 8 hours sleep, I became so discouraged. Wrote my oncologist on the patient portal (although she does not see those messages since we switched systems) because I thought it was a sign of reaction to treatment or a return of cancer (mbs - ambiguous scan last time). I cut back on the supplements two other doctors ordered (folic acid and vitamin D) and halved the dose of allopurinol that I take for kidney stones because my uric acid is too low, and I followed the advice in another chain and took an online exercise class. They are gone, and I feel better all around. It helps not to look in the mirror! I heard that tea bags (caffeine) under the eyes help, but I didn't try that. My father had these blue bags; it is hereditary, but being run down for whatever reason doesn't help.
