How To Treat Dark Circles And Red Spots Under Eye In A 4 1/2 Years Old Child?
I have a 4-1/2 year old that starting having dark circles under her eyes about 4 weeks ago. she sleeps about 11 hours each night on average. She drinks a lot, but i'm sure could always drink more. Tonight I noticed that there were small red spots around her eyes and on her eyelids. is there anything I should do?
The treatment of choice depends on the cause of the dark circles. If congestion or allergies cause the circles, treatment of the underlying condition should improve the dark circles. Eczema is a skin condition marked by redness, itching, swelling of the skin and inflammation. Skin irritants, allergens and stress can trigger outbreaks. Eczema can create the appearance of dark circles when it affects the area under the eyes, and rubbing under the eye can worsen the condition. If dark circles result from lifestyle habits, then improving sleep, reducing alcohol use, managing stress and stopping smoking can improve your dark circles. Laser surgery to lighten the skin under the eyes can be helpful when the dark circles occur because of irregularities of skin pigment.
