Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about these worries that you have about your daughter. I have reviewed the information fully. I understand your worries but at this time, there is nothing that should make us panic. Because of her susceptibility to allergies, this is the most likely explanation of her symptoms of very areas around the eyes. I will advise that she trie to map out most of the things which provoke allergies and stay away from them as a means of preventing allergies.
The brown periods are of no concern at this time. Though most of the times periods are red, all women at sometime in their lives have experienced a chafe in the color of their periods. This is not suggestive of any abnormality and in most cases resolve without the need of any further medical intervention.
In all, there is nothing alarming. Unless something else happens, be observant and am sure all would progress normally. Treat these periods just like every other and all would be okay.
I hope this helps. I wish your daughter well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
