Dark circle

Asked for Male, 11 years

My nephew is 6 years old and he is having dark circles around eyes. He sleeps 8 to 10 hours every day and sometimes more than it. He sometimes wakes up with swollen eye (sometimes it’s right other time its left and rarely both) we took him to the doctor and he prescribed eye drops he said it’s because of bacterial infection. He got better after that. My question is it normal for 6 years old to have dark circles and what precautions we should avoid bacterial infection.

Dear Patient,

I'm sorry to hear that. Yes, it's normal to have eye infections and they make a dark impression outside as the growth is on the inside.
In the future, you can make sure he washes hands often and avoids touching the face. When he comes from outdoors he should wash his face thoroughly and maintain good hygiene.

For further consultation, you can choose from our list of best Dermatologists in Islamabad and seek in-person advice.
