Dark circles: Fatigue isn't the only reason for dark circles under your eyes. What appear to be dark circles under your eyes are sometimes just shadows cast by puffy eyelids or hollows under your eyes that develop as a normal part of aging. Causes may include: Allergies,Atopic dermatitis (eczema), Contact dermatitis, Fatigue, Heredity, Rubbing/scratching, sun exposure, thinning skin (common with aging).
