Eyes Sunken and Dark Skin

by Dhea08, Oct 27, 2007 11:50PM
To Whom It May Concern,

My eyes have drastically sunken down into my face and the skin around it has turned black. I used to have very beautiful big eyes but now as they have sunken into my face you can barely see them. I lack sleep due to college studies but have been trying my best to improve my sleeping schedule. But is there anything else I can do to bringmy eyes back up and remove the dark circles. I would really appreciate your response.

Sincerely,
Dhea

Hi,

You need to drink plenty of fluids, maintain a healthy diet schedule and also sleep well - no medications would be able to compensate these measures.

Do you have any other associated symptoms of itching, rash , etc.

It would not be advisable to scrub the area too hard as this would irritate the skin. You should try to avoid sweat collection in the areas, keep the areas clean, maintain good personal hygiene, wear lose comfortable clothes. Apply calamine lotion at the sites.

Consult a skin specialist for your complaints and discuss whether a demyleininzing agent would help in your case. You could also discuss about microdermabrasion and whether it would help in your case.

Let us know about how you are doing and if you have any other doubts.

Post us about what your doctor advises.

Regards.
