What are these dark marks? They are only in corner of eyes (Photo)

Question

I’ve had these marks ONLY in corner of my eyes. Under my eyes are the same pigment as the rest of my face which is even. I’ve tried hydroquinone, vitamin c and other products. My dermatologist gave me no answers as to what it could be. It seems to be getting darker. I eat fairly healthy and I stay hydrated. What is the cause and is there a treatment option?

Hi there! Many factors can be considered; genetics, aging, and seasonal allergies making it worse. If you are rubbing, have itching, or watery eyes - this leads to fluid accumulating making the eye area appear dark and discolored.

PRP injections will help with collagen stimulation to bring back the volume loss. I would not recommend wasting any money on creams or lotions.

I suggest an allergy test to first determine if there is an underlying cause. If you mother, grandmother, father or grandfather have them as well, then a series of PRP undereye and laser will help with the pigmentation. Good luck on this journey!
