How can I treat this spot under my eye? (Photos)

Most chemical peels remove the top layers of skin through exfoliation. Although this may initially thin the skin, the goal is to stimulate new skin with denser collagen to form. Deep chemical peels and lasers tend to give you more collagen-rich skin that is healthier and more youthful.
The amount of skin recovery really depends on the depth of your chemical peel. Light chemical peels have little to no downtime, whereas deeper chemical peels may penetrate the dermis and cause 7-10 days of skin recovery and peeling. During the initial dryness and peeling stage, your skin may become noticeably darker as the pigment is driven towards the surface of your skin. Redness, skin tightness, mild discomfort, and itching are all normal elements of recovery. We encourage patients to use a lightening SPF sunscreen during the day. It is advisable to avoid direct sunlight and picking of any dried or peeling skin.

Thank you for sharing your photos. The spot you’re noticing under your eye looks like it could be due to a few possibilities, sometimes it’s related to mild irritation, a small patch of hyperpigmentation, or even dryness in the delicate under-eye area. Because the skin here is very thin, even minor changes can become noticeable quickly.

For now, I’d recommend keeping the area well-hydrated with a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer or an eye cream designed for sensitive skin. Ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, or a mild vitamin C can help with hydration and evening out tone. Be sure to apply sunscreen daily, as the under-eye area is prone to pigmentation from sun exposure.

Try to avoid rubbing or scratching the area, since that can worsen discoloration or irritation. If the spot changes in size, color, or becomes bothersome, it would be important to have it evaluated further to rule out other causes.
