What to do if i have dark circles under my eyes. how are they caused?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Genetics and allergy: Dark circles occur when the blood vessels beneath the skin show through in those that have thinner skin in this area. Allergies can make this worse. Use allergy meds as needed and try cool soaks to the area. You can probably make it better, but not get rid of these entirely.
