Why do I always have a black eye?

[anon090423]

I always have some level of darkness under my eyes (who doesn't?) but this is beyond a normal dark circle and it's only present under one eye. In photos, it looks like someone punched me in the eye. This has been present for years so it isn't going away naturally. Could some kind of injury / trauma / medical condition be causing this? Should I see a specialist -- if so, what sort would be most appropriate?

Whenever I try to Google this, all I get is results about normal under eye circles and this is more than that.

Thanks for your help!

Hello,

Do you have any food allergies? Food allergies can cause the "black eye". I would ask for a food allergy panel blood test, this might be the answer.

Thanks for the answer! Would a food allergy cause this in only one eye? I'll have to look into this. I don't have any that I'm aware of but I never thought about it before.

Precaution- While applying any cream or moisturizer or sunscreen over your face make sure you don't make any contact with the areas around the eyes. And If you feel an utmost importance to apply something there then you may get an under eye cream that I do not think is necessary.

Possible cause- Stress, Not Optimum Sleep, and impure blood.

You must drink enough water, fruits rich in Vitamin C and Exercise is always helpful. A multivitamin would be good.

Advise- A blood test is always the easiest thing to know your basic being of health.

Take care, Stay Happy!
