A member asked:

I had dark circles under my eyes (i was 8 years i had them)? any home remedy to remove them? they are very old about 12 years?causes also?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No worrying: Dark circles are one of the most common complaints we ophthalmologists see. Most common cause is lack of sleep or tiredness . Other rare causes are allergies, thyroid disease and possible renal disease. No home remedies recommend other than plenty of rest. Have your primary dr. Check thyroid and kidneys.
