Baby's lower eyelid is dark

Babies are a group of people with special physical constitutions. They have low immunity, are unfamiliar with the external environment, and lack a sense of security, so they are more susceptible to diseases. Dark eyelids are a problem that many babies have, and it is an issue that parents need to pay attention to. If your baby's eyelids turn black, it will affect your baby's health, so it needs to be treated as soon as possible. So, what is going on with the baby’s lower eyelid turning black?

What is the cause of the dark lower eyelids of children?

It is very common for children to have dark eyelids, and the basic root of the disease is mainly in the spleen and stomach. There is a saying in Traditional Chinese Medicine that "eyelids are controlled by the spleen and stomach", so dark eyelids are related to weak spleen and stomach. The stomach is responsible for digestion and the spleen is responsible for transportation and transformation. Children with spleen deficiency cannot get nutrition to the head and face, and the eyelid skin is the thinnest part of the whole body, so it is easy to turn dark.
