Brief Answer:
Precautions advised

Detailed Answer:
For dark circles you need to apply sunscreen and see the effect in about 7-10 days
Also avoid any scrub on the affected area.
Fever and headache is commonly due to sore throat and sinusitis so you need to start an antibiotic at the earliest so as to get faster relief along with cetrizine tablet which will help to cover the symptoms even better

Brief Answer:
Allergy test advised

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, if it comes and goes then it seems like allergy to something and it is usually to some medicine or a particular food item
So you can go for allergy testing and see leaving certain items helps you or not
Sunscreen is the only option
Some get these pigment problems during or before periods so can see the coherence
