How can we treat the blackness around the eye? I am 20 yrs old and it let me look like 30 .. And what are the causes?
Aug 9, 2014

Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
There are different causes of blackness under eyes some are:
-Lack of sleep
-anemia
-Allergies
-dermatitis (eczema)
-Fatigue
-Heredity — dark under-eye circles can run in families
-Pigmentation irregularities
-Rubbing or scratching your eyes more often
-Sun exposure, which prompts your body to produce more melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color
-Thinning skin and loss of fat and collagen — common as you age — can make the reddish-blue blood vessels under your eyes more obvious

To help yourself in this condition
take enough deep sleep hours at night
eat well balanced diet with fruits and vegetables and iron
drink enough water
you can apply cold compresses on your eyes
you can raise the pillow when you sleep to decrease puffiness
relax don't stress
have rest times and enjoying vacation

you can check with a dermatologist for further investigation about the cause and the doctor may recommend a hydroquinone solution often mixed in an oil free moisturizer that acts like a skin bleach.
