What Causes Dark Circles Under Eyes And Paleness?

Hi,



My 9 year old son has dark circles under his eyes and is very pale.

His blood was tested for mono, thyroid, and CBC?(Not sure if this is correct abbreviation) and all was well, but the circles appear to be worse than before. Were these specific tests enough, or is there more I can do?

Thank you.

Hello. I just read through your question.
In most cases, especially when the bloodwork is normal, the most common cause is seasonal allergy. Often, starting an over the counter anti histamine resolves the problem. I recommend discussing this with your doctor.
