Allergies and Sinus Problems
Dark circles are often associated with allergies. When allergic reactions occur, the body releases chemicals that can cause inflammation and swelling. Congestion may also affect blood flow around the eyes, making the area appear darker.
Common allergy-related symptoms include:
- Itchy eyes
- Sneezing
- Nasal congestion
- Watery eyes
- Facial pressure
Treating the underlying allergy frequently helps improve the appearance of dark circles.
