Suggest Treatment For Dark Circles And Puffiness Under The Eyes
Question: I have REALLY bad bags under my eyes. Dark circles and puffiness all the time. I have tried all sorts of creams and techniques but I can't get rid of tired, sick looking eyes. What can I do?
Brief Answer:
Cause should be ruled out.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Dark circles occurs due to any underlying problems. This occurs due to dilation of blood vessels.
The causes can be due to lack of proper sleep, allergic problems, anemia and lack of nutrition, liver problems etc. So these should be ruled out. Even medicines causing blood vessels dilatation also gives this.
Routine blood analysis should be done to rule out anemia. If positive then taking supplements will be helpful. You should also get proper sleep daily. Get stress relaxation by doing stress relaxing exercises like breathing exercise. Liver function test should be done to rule out any liver problems also.
Taking vitamin E and vitamin c supplements also is helpful. You can also use kojic acid based creams for fading the skin darkness. Also take enough water to hydrate the skin.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
