Experts provide information on various causes of dark circles under children's eyes

Dark circles observed under children's eyes, referred to in medical terms as periorbital hyperpigmentation, are not always a cause for concern. According to a report by 'The Hindu', if the child is otherwise healthy, the mere presence of dark circles is not a matter of worry.

Often, parents feel that these dark circles occur only due to insufficient sleep or nutritional deficiencies, but the causes can be more diverse. In some children, this may simply be a familial trait. Additionally, this problem may be linked to allergies, nasal congestion, or skin diseases. Sometimes, even if a child wakes up after getting sufficient sleep throughout the night, dark circles may still be observed under their eyes.

If these dark circles persist or if any other symptoms are observed alongside them, parents should seek advice from a paediatrician. Dark circles themselves are not a separate disease, but they can be an indicator of other matters.

For more details on this subject, medical experts have advised that it is necessary to contact a doctor depending on the severity of the symptoms.
