Hi,

I can understand your deep concern for pigmentation under eyes.

It can be due to various causes such as
-Genetic
- Stress n
-Nutritional causes.
-All above intermixed causes

If I were your treating dermatologist then given you a treatment of

-     Chemical peeling
-     Acugel procedure
-     Medical treatment with azelaic acid cream to be applied at night time.
-     Medical treatment with glycolic acid cream or licorice extract or arbutine creams at night time .

Take a proper guidance and follow up with a good dermatologist to take care of the problem better.

Take care.
