Dr. Tichenor, Thanks for your response, and your WEB Site is great!  If lack of proper blood flow in the nose is the problem, would sudafed (which I assumes shrinks blood vessels to prevent congestion) make the puffiness under the eyes worse?

– The blood can’t flow normally through the nose. As a result blood leaks out through  the capillaries under the eyes, causing swelling and after the blood breaks down, will turn dark. The underlying problem must be treated, but the brownish coloration often doesn’t go away. Wellington S. Tichenor, M.

I have a problem with puffiness and darkness under my eyes from sinusitis.  I would be interested in what is it about sinusitis that causes this, and what is the best approach to relieve it. Thanks, Jim
