What Causes Dark Circles In A 6 Year Old?
My granddaughter just turned six and she has had dark circles under her eyes since she has been four. At five she was taken to a EN&T doctor. She had a severe sinus infection and said she needed to have her adnoids and tonsils removed and this should also help with the darkness. All went well with the other stuff but not with the darkness. Are there other causes for this: allergies, anemic, diabetes? Please direct me to anything we should be looking into. Thank you. Concerned Grandma

Hello,
Vitamin D and Vitamin B 12 deficiency can cause darkening of the skin.
Check her Vitamin D and Vitamin B12 levels in blood.
