Suggest Remedy For Dark Circles

Hello doctor I am a 28 year old female. Would like to know an effective remedy for dark circles. I am anaemic but for the past six months, i've been taking iron pills (Ferric Ascorbate with folic acid) as advised by the doctor. Most of the other symptoms of iron-deficiency have gone except the dark circles. I do sit on the computer for most part of the day due to work, so can't really escape that. I am having dark circles since the age of 17-18. Please tell me how can i get rid of dark circles? I was thinking of trying melalite cream at night and doctor reddy's niltan during the day time. Is that ok? Would also, like to add that i've been trying various home remedies as well but they hardly show any difference. Thanks,.

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello dear,
Welcome to HCm.
i have read your query and understood your concern.

Dark circles is relatively a refractory condition. It takes really a long time before it shows good response to treatment.
It may be due to familial causes, inadequate sleep, anaemia, strain on eyes etc.
In your cases, multiple factors are implicated.

I will advise you to use safer depigmenting creams around eyes like those containing kojic acid, arbutin, liquorice etc (like radant i /wunder eye cream)
I hope it helps.
You may discuss this with your doctor.
Stay healthy.
