What causes occipital neuralgia? Occipital Neuralgia may occur spontaneously, or as the result of a pinched nerve root in the neck (from arthritis, for example), or as the result of prior injury or surgery to the scalp or skull. Sometimes âtightâ muscles at the back of the head can entrap the nerves.
Puffy, swollen eyelids and dark circles under the eyes can occur when you have an eye infection such as pink eye. These swollen eyes are caused by inflammation associated with the eye infection, which directly affects the neighboring eyelids. Also, dry eyes can cause general puffiness and swelling.
Puffiness of or Bags Under Eyes is a structural problem caused by excess or herniation of eyelid fat bulging against the eyelid skin. This fat must be repositioned and or removed to remove the puffiness or bag. Do not believe ads that say a cream or laser treatment will remove puffiness or eye bags-they will not.
