Sudden under eye bags that won't go away. How can I make them go away? (Photo)

October 5, 2020
Asked By:Boob Envy in Boston, Massachusetts

I'm 36 and I haven't been getting much sleep and I know I don't drink enough water. I've been working on both. However, I have had these eye bags which I've never had before for about 4 weeks. I know they were not there before and have checked recent pictures to verify. Nothing seems to work. Cold compresses allergy pills, I've tried everything and it's not making a difference. If it's from age would it come on so suddenly and severe? How can I make it go away & how long? Could it be permanent?
