Blackness under the eyes

Everytime I wake up in the morning, especially if i wake up really tired from 6 or less hours of sleep, i get heavy black spots under my eyes. Then as the day progresses, the blackness becomes mild. is this something that can be treated?

Hello,

Dark circles under the eyes are temporary and caused due to insomnia,smoking, a family history of dark circles,deficiency of vit K in diet,allergies like sinusitis and eczema, and adrenal gland disorders.

Take rest adequatey and eat healthy nutritious food containing lots of green vegetables. Try to avoid caffeine, because it promotes water retention and leads to the dryness of the eye.Apply almond oil or skin creams containing vit C or K,alpha hydroxyl acids and kinetin.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted if you have any additional queries.
