Hello, there are numerous common causes of dark circles under the eyes, including significant emotional fluctuations; eye strain; age-related changes around the eyes; chronic sleep deprivation; sluggish blood circulation in the ocular venous vessels; kidney-related diseases; and poor sleep quality. Once dark circles appear, management and treatment should be tailored to the underlying cause. If you are unable to determine the exact cause on your own, it is advisable to consult a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation. I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
