I very commonly face the question regarding dark circles
around eyes, esp by young girls.

They can affect anyone, men and women , more common in
elderly and genetic predispostition

(familial hyperpigmentation)

Fatigues

Fatigues seems to be the most common factor of dark circles
around eyes. Rest all causes doesn’t seem to be of much medical significance

Oversleeping

Oversleeping, extreme fatigye or just staying up till late
at night beyond the bedtime can cause dark circles. Sleep deprivation can cause
skin to become dull and pale, making dark tissue and blood vessesl beneath your
skin to show up.

Natural aging

Natural aging is another common cause of those dark circles
beneath your eyes.with age the skin becomes thinner, making blood vessels more
prominent, giving dark circles below eyes

Eyestrain

Eyestrain, with increase in usage of television and computer
screen, can cause significant strain on our eyes. This leads to again blood
vessels enlarging around our eyes, resulting in darkening of skin around eyes.

Allergies

Allergies, dehydration, dry eyes and sun exposure are other
cause of dark circles around eyes

Most of the time, correcting eye fatigue and strain with
proper fluid supplementation, cures dark circles. Home remedies can be applied
as recommended by beauticians of apply cucumber or tea bags.

Most cases doesn’t require medical treatment, expect bagging of lower lids which may require cosmetic correction.
