Question : I noticed that I have this weird bruising under my eyes. I always had the darker areas in the corner but now it is extending out and looking yellowish. Any ideas what may be causing it. For some reason its visibly noticeable on cameras but not so much in person.

Physiological finding

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and viewed the images.

I think the yellowish tinge is nothing pathological. It is just a physiological thing which varies between individuals as a function of skin thickness, translucency and ambient light.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.

is it possible my allergies are contributing to coloration? I had too add an antihistami e to my steroid spray because of symptoms such as itchy eyes.

Hi.

Could be a result of vasoconstriction due to steroids causing pallor/ pale looking skin.
