What is the reason for the black spots under the child's eyes? Is it caused by sleep?

Eyes are the windows to the soul. You can imagine how important eyes are to us. Some children often experience eye discomfort, such as dark spots under the eyes. This is a phenomenon that most children have. What causes dark spots under children's eyes?

Normally speaking, children are not prone to dark circles under their eyes. However, in today's life, it is not difficult to find cases of dark circles under the eyes of children. Next, let’s analyze what causes dark circles under children’s eyes from a medical perspective.

1. Genetic constitution and physiological structure. When the skin around the eye sockets is particularly thin and the subcutaneous tissue is particularly scarce, when blood flows through the large veins here, a blue-black halo will appear very close to the surface of the skin, which is called dark circles.

2. Children do not get enough sleep and are overly fatigued, which prevents their eyelids from getting rest and keeps them in a tense and contracted state. The blood flow to this area increases for a long time, causing the blood vessels in the subcutaneous tissue around the eyes to become filled, which leads to congestion around the eyes and leaves dark shadows.

3. Due to congenital deficiency and kidney deficiency, children's eyes lack the nourishment of essence and energy, causing black to float on the eyes, resulting in dark eye circles.

4. Children who have been ill for a long time or have just recovered from a serious illness are prone to skin pigmentation due to the weak subcutaneous tissue around the eyes, which is easily revealed on the upper and lower eyelids as a layer of dark circles.

5. Congenital dark circles. Some people are born with darker skin around their eyes, usually more common in white people. Such dark circles are difficult to lighten.

6. Pigmentation. Dark circles are caused by pigmentation. In fact, pigmentation is one of the causes of dark circles.
