From the image alone, I can’t diagnose a medical condition or confirm what the arrow is pointing to. The photo shows the lower eyelid area with what appears to be skin texture changes, fine lines, and some puffiness or fullness under the eye, but many different things can look similar.
If the claim is that this is a “first symptom of a disease,” that would need more context. Common possibilities for changes under the eyes include:
- Normal aging changes: thinning skin, loss of collagen and elasticity, fine lines, and under-eye fat becoming more noticeable.
- Fluid retention: puffiness that can vary with salt intake, sleep, allergies, or hormones.
- Allergies or irritation: swelling, itching, redness, or watery eyes.
- Dermatologic conditions: eczema, contact dermatitis, or other skin changes.
- Medical causes (less common): certain thyroid, kidney, or systemic conditions can cause persistent swelling around the eyes, usually with other symptoms.
Seek medical advice sooner if there is:
- Sudden swelling around one eye
- Pain, redness, warmth, or discharge
- Vision changes
- A new drooping eyelid
- Severe headache or facial weakness
- Swelling that is persistent and worsening
If you can share the full sentence after “These are the first symptoms of a…” (for example, what condition the post claims), I can explain whether that claim is accurate and what the actual early signs are.
