Brief Answer:
darkening of skin near eyes.

Detailed Answer:
Hi!

Welcome to health care magic!

I am Dr. Saddiq Ul Abidin. I have read your problem in detail and will try to help you in best way possible.

Sometimes skin darkening at specific part is indicative of melanoma, or preliminary to skin malignancies, and such things need to be evaluated preemptively.

So your concern is relevant in that regard, but Based on the picture it doesn't seem that bad yet. If the darkness increases or gets confined to one part you might need to have skin biopsy but not at this stage.

Meanwhile try using a good sunblock. Try planning a routine visit to a dermatologist, but let me reassure you once again that, it is not that emergent to be reviewed sooner than normal. You can also try using emolients like liquid paraffin with vaselines.

Hope this has answered your query, if you have any more questions, feel free to ask. kindly rate me before closing, and leave your feedback if possible.

Regards,
Dr. Saddiq Ul abidin.
