I had cortison injections to eliminate the black circles under my eyes and sun marks on my face about five weeks ago but had no improvement.
Is this condition going to improve? Is there some thing that I can do to help my situation? The doctor prescribed Hidrokinone cream.

If the skin color is dark multiple treatments with IPL (Intense Pulsed Light-also called Photofacial) can sometimes lighten the color of the lower eyelid skin.
