White Circles Under Eye

[Concerned721]

I am a 25-year old, white female.  My skin is very fair and prone to freckling and burns.  I have had white (much lighter than the rest of the skin on my face) circles under my eyes for the past 6-9 months.  I can cover them with makeup to help them blend with the rest of my skin, but I would like to fix the problem.  Please let me know what this is and if there is a solution.  Thank you for your time.

There has been quite a bit of "cures" or solutions that haven't been commented on after they were posted.  I'd assume that some of you have tried some of these possible solutions and it would be really valuable to get feedback from people.

Things I've tried and didn't help:

1.  I tried the nasal spray for about 2 weeks and I had no change.

2.  I've tried the zinc supplement and it didn't seem to help.  

I'm a male and at this point I want to try and cover it up while I'm trying to figure out a "cure."  I also obviously want it to be very hard to tell I have makeup on.  Haha.  Any suggestions on what I should wear to try and even out my complexion?

Also has anyone tried those spray on home machines?  Those seem like they would work really well but I'd love to hear if anyone else has given it a try.

I really how we can all help each other figure it out.

Hi  I too have white under my eyes,  I don't drink, never smoked, have a healthy diet etc etc and I am not over weight or anaemic.   I have been told
by beauty therapists I should be grateful as this " problem" is something
women pay big money to attain,  worse to have dark circles.   I never sun
bathe so nothing to do with sunglasses!!!!!!   I too am curious as I use
a product to make the skin less white.  It shows up occasionally on photos.

I'm a 30 year old female and noticed just last year these white circles around my eyes. I've read a lot of interesting things and I'm going to share....

I'm olive skinned, I've always tanned very easy. I went to the tanning bed and never wore goggles.

I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer when I was 26 and had the thyroid removed. I am on medicines for life for that.

I also have a pituitary tumor at the base of my brain.

After my wedding a year ago I stopped tanning. I didn't go to the tanning bed. About 6 months after I quit I noticed the circles. I went to the tanning bed thinking oh my gosh get the color back. And it was a huge fail. The white circles turn tomato red, and I got to stay like that for 2 days. To work and all.  

I notice the circles the most right after I get out of the hot shower. I look ridiculous. I've wrote down a few of the medical terms used throughout this posting. I have to do any research. I am currently at work, but intend to read up on this.

Good luck to all.
