Dark Circle
Dark circles under the eyes are a common condition that can make people look tired or older than they are. They can appear as shades of blue, purple, brown, or black, depending on your natural skin color.
There are many possible causes of dark circles under the eyes, but they’re usually not a symptom of a medical problem. Some of the most common causes include:
- Lack of sleep: When you don’t get enough sleep, the blood vessels under your eyes can dilate, making them more visible.
- Aging: As you age, the skin under your eyes becomes thinner and loses elasticity. This can make the underlying blood vessels more visible.
- Genetics: Some people are simply more prone to developing dark circles under their eyes, regardless of their age or lifestyle.
- Dehydration: When you don’t drink enough fluids, your skin can become dehydrated and look dull and tired. This can make dark circles more noticeable.
- Allergies: Allergies can cause inflammation and swelling around the eyes, which can lead to dark circles.
- Eye strain: Staring at a computer screen or other electronic device for long periods of time can cause eye strain, which can lead to dark circles.
- Medical conditions: In some cases, dark circles under the eyes can be a sign of a medical condition, such as anemia, thyroid problems, or liver disease. If you have dark circles and other symptoms, such as fatigue, unexplained weight loss, or changes in your appetite, it’s important to see a doctor to rule out any underlying medical conditions.
