Hello Deepthi, Your daughterâs under eye circles may be due to anemia.The skin under the eyes is very thin, and when blood oxygen levels are low, the deoxygenated blood (which appears darker) becomes more prominent, causing the area to appear darker. In some cases, iron deficiency can also lead to increased melanin production in the skin, further contributing to the dark circles. So , donât worry,give her medicines on time ,eye circles will disappear when anemia gets treated . Apply aloevera under eyes twice a day. . Avoid screen time 1hr before sleep. . Deworm her if not done in last 6 months. Reach out for any further query. Regards, Dr. Anupriya
Hey, Since she already has known iron deficiency and supplements havenât resolved the circles, Iâd recommend a follow-up blood test after a few months of supplementation to check if her iron stores (ferritin) and hemoglobin have normalized, and to explore other deficiencies or allergy issues
