Dark circles: This very well could be normal. Children have thinner skin than adults so the blood vessels will show through giving a darker appearance . Often this darker skin can run though families or be a sign of allergies.

Nasal congestion: Check for nasal obstruction which is related to the dark circles which usually improve with relief of the nasal congestion often related to allergies in a child of this age. Talk to your doctor .

Im 25 and have deep dark circles under my eyes for more than 5 years, most likely from unhealthy diet and less sleep. Which vitamins/minerals do im maybe deficient ?
I'm always fatigued. Some mornings, like today, it's so bad I cannot keep my eyes open. It feels like I did not sleep at all even after a good night's sleep. I've had many blood tests but apart from a Vit D deficiency everything is normal?
