A member asked:

My 1 year old baby has dark circles around her eyes? no symptoms of any illness

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not significant: This is often due to slow blood flow through the veins that supply the area caused by either nasal congestion or just a familial appearance. I would not waste any time worrying about it. If it bothers you bring it up at your next scheduled well baby visit.
