I have a dark circle developing around my eye. i am an african american male. what could this be?

Possible allergy: It depends upon where exactly your are talking about but if you mean dark areas on the skin under the eyes it could be from allergies. If it is just on one eye and all around the eye it could be from a form of skin irritation like eczema. See your doctor for evaluation.
