Suggest Treatment For Dark Skin On The Outer Corner Of Eyes

hi! so about 5 months ago I noticed that the skin by my eye (outter corner of both eyes) are dark! sort of a dark brown/reddish mark. they sort of look like smudges from makeup or something. but when I wash it , it doesn t go away. I m maybe thinking that it s just irritates skin from taking off my makeup at night, but I m not sure and it s quite annoying to have to cover up all the time! help!

Hello,

I can understand your concern for the dark skin on the outer corner of eyes. It appears from your query that you have got peri-ocualr melanosis. In such kind of cases the most important factors are stress and nutritional.
I prefer to give a skin lightening cream such as Kojic acid or arbutin with licorice extract creams to be applied at night time. reduce your stress and keep your diet best to reduce the further tendency.
All the best
