It is Important to Know What Causes Dark Circles Under Eyes


There are many medical conditions which cause dark circles under your eyes. Besides, these, there are likely to be many other possible causes which you can ask your doctor as per your symptoms.

Persistent eye rubbing as well as difficulty in sleeping is what causes bags under your eyes. Difficulty in sleeping can be due to stress, depression as well as sleep disorders.

Allergies such as Hay fever, Allergic shiners, Dust allergy and Mold allergy too can cause dark circles under your eye. Eczema in the skin below your eyes as well as pallor of the skin may accentuate these bags under eye. Inherited eye blood vessel condition is also what causes dark circles under your eyes as it runs in families. Aging and Dehydration as well as nasal congestion are other reasons which give rise to puffy bags under eyes. Frequent eye rubbing and Phenol sulfotransferase deficiency are the other causes.

There are various non-food allergies like American feverfew, Ash juniper tree pollen, beech tree, Beet, and Bermuda grass which can give rise to dark circles under eyes.

Goosefoot, grass, guayule, hazel tree, hemp, as well as Hickory tree allergies are what causes dark circles under your eyes.

Exposure to sunlight, especially during the summers, can cause a high level of skin pigmentation under the eyes. People tend to get suntans as exposure to the sun increases the skin's natural pigmentation and draws this pigmentation to the surface. This same principle is applicable to the skin which is under the eyes.

There are certain medications that may cause the blood vessels to dilate. This too can cause the circles under the eyes to darken. This is because the skin under the eyes is very delicate. Thus any increase in blood flow will show through the skin.

Pregnancy as well as Menstruation is the time when the skin becomes paler. This again makes the underlying veins under the eyes more visible. As you grow older, the bags under your eyes are likely to become more noticeable as well as permanent. Besides, the excess folds of skin which are under the eyes will also tend to make these dark circles more pronounced.

Adrenal exhaustion as well as Kidney energetic deficiency is the other reasons for causing puffiness under the eyes. A lack of sleep or excessive tiredness is the reasons behind the paleness of the skin, allowing the blood underneath the skin to become more visible. Thus it makes the skin in that area appear more blue or darker.
