Hello,
It seems from the history that you are having dark patches under eyes.
Dark circles under the eyes are seen because of exposure to sun light. They are most commonly seen in people with deficiency of essential elements, allergic conditions of eyes or skin.
Hence the treatment is by finding out the underlying cause and treatment of it.
The general treatment is by healthy nutritious diet and good sleep.

Thank you
