Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Xiaoyan
Melasma around the corners of the eyes is not necessarily caused by insufficient qi and blood, but is more closely related to endocrine disorders. The development of melasma may be influenced by multiple factors, including genetic predisposition, medications (such as contraceptives and hormone drugs), underlying diseases (such as hypothyroidism or hypopituitarism), ultraviolet radiation, and malnutrition. Although insufficient qi and blood may affect skin condition, it is not the direct cause of melasma around the corners of the eyes. Therefore, when addressing melasma in this area, multiple contributing factors should be considered comprehensively, and professional medical advice and treatment plans should be sought.
