I think this tips will helps you. Take at least 8 to 10 hours of sleep daily. You can apply cucumber slices over the eyes for 15 minutes. Aloe vera juice is also helpful for removing dark circles. Make a paste of turmeric powder with pineapple juice and apply it on the affected area.

I hope it will help,it did for me.

i have had this dark ring on my neck since i was 5 and i am now 23. Its been really hard to deal with and when i was younger i would crub so bad i would hurt my self. Im actually considering lazer surgery for it. i hope that does the trick. I dont know of any other remedies to make it go away. a simple scrub does not help. Some people say that it is dirt. i still have no clue. what would you suggest?

Hi

Dark pigmentation on the skin especially involving the neck, the inner thighs and the arm pits may be due to hormonal imbalance. If there are associated weight problems and adrenal problems, then dark skin pigmentations may present. If this has been present for quite some time already, then you may need to have this assessed by an internist. An endocrinology referral may be necessary.

Apply vitamin E cream over the dark areas. Do not rub or scrub vigorously. This may thicken the skin. Mildly exfoliate from time to time.

How old are you?

Do you have any associated conditions like diabetes?
