[skin concerns] PSA: dark circles can be a sign of allergies

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I saw an allergist today. He noticed my dark circles and told me that they are due to my allergies. Apparently it's something to do with the inflammation drawing more blood to the area, which then shows up as pigmentation under the skin. YMMV -- of course there are other things that can cause dark circles -- but it looks like allergies are the culprit in my case at least.Anyway. There are a number of allergic/immunologic conditions that can affect the skin (eczema, psoriasis, allergic contact dermatitis, dark circles apparently), and I seriously recommend seeing an allergist if you have concerns about them. A dermatologist can treat the symptoms; an allergist can treat the cause.
