What Causes Dark Skin Around The Mouth?

Hello, I am a woman with 33 years old. I have a dark skin around my mouth and my eyes. Some times the intensity of the darkness is high and some times is lighter. I tried many remedies such as lemon juice and honey but non of them didn t work. I m concerning if it has some internal causes. I also did a blood test and everything was looking normal. Would you please help me to know how can I remove this ?

Hello respected,

I have read your question, I can understand your concern for darkNess around eyes and mouth,well i don't see any systemic problem for the darkness on face, it must have end result of any allergy or many times it may be hereditary,

As area aound eyes and mouth are too sensitive,i advice you to start applying creams containing kojic acid, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, arbutin, n acetyl glucosamine,..These agents are safe and effective. ...

creams available in Indian market.
Illumax (ajanta)
kojiglow (alkem)
clearz plus (dr.reddy)

other specific creams for eye dark circles
faireye cream.(zydus, liva)

Must use these creams for few months to get the results.

don't use creams containing hyrdoquinone tretinoin mometasone as it will cause irritation, reaction.

Also gentle chemical peel like arginine peel can also give good results..
Thank uou
