Darkening of lower eyelids in children

The eyes are the windows to the soul. If there is an abnormality in the eyes, it indicates that there may be problems with the physical condition. Generally speaking, if a child has a black lower eyelid, it is usually due to poor eye hygiene. It may also be caused by a decrease in the child's resistance. For example, if the child is calcium deficient or has poor sleep quality, the lower eyelid will turn black. Therefore, it is best for parents to take their children to the hospital for relevant examinations.

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.
