Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have red circle under the eyes . Well there can be many reasons for dark spots under eyes like deprivation of sleep , dehydration , excessive exposure to sun and fatigue . But in your case it seems to me that probable reason for dark spots is post inflammatory hyper pigmentation . I would suggest you to wash your face with face wash containing benzoyl peroxide twice a day and then apply cream containing azelaic acid which is a cereal extract and totally safe for use . Also apply vitamin E oil before going to bed and keep cucumber pieces on eyes for 15 minutes daily . If condition doesn't get better in a month then consult dermatologist for proper examination and rule out other causes .


Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
