What causes black spots on the outer corners of the eyes?

The human eye is a very important part of the face. Its main function is to use the visual nerve to see the outside world. Not only that, the structure of the human eye area is also very complex. It has multiple components. Just taking the corners of the eyes as an example, there are outer corners and inner corners. The outer corner of the eye is a part that can make a person's eyes look lively, but what would be the reason if the outer corner of the eye turns black?

There are three reasons for the blackening of the outer corners of the eyes. The first is that the skin near the eyelashes of the upper and lower eyelids is brown or light gray-black, sometimes accompanied by slight roughness, thickening or wrinkles on the skin. This type is less common and usually appears after middle age. The second type of blackening of the outer canthus is a brown or light gray-black crescent-shaped strip that extends from the inner canthus downward at an angle of about 45 degrees. It is not obvious when young, but begins to move outward and upward in middle-aged and elderly people and reaches the outer canthus, forming a complete semicircle of about several millimeters. The third type of dark corners of the eyes is a reflection of certain pathological changes in the capillaries around the eyes.

Dark circles are caused by staying up late, emotional instability, eye fatigue, aging, slow blood flow in the veins, insufficient oxygen supply to the red blood cells in the eye skin, excessive accumulation of carbon dioxide and metabolic waste in the veins, causing chronic hypoxia, darker blood and stagnation, and eye pigmentation.

Guidance:

The first thing to do is to increase nutrition. Increase the intake of high-quality protein in your diet, ensure more than 90 grams of protein per day, and eat more lean meat, milk, eggs, seafood, etc. that are rich in high-quality protein. The intake of vitamin A and vitamin E should also be increased, because vitamins A and E have a nourishing effect on the eyeballs and eye muscles.

There is currently no ideal drug for the treatment of pigmentation, so it is important to avoid drug abuse. You can use vitamin E externally for a period of time. If there is no improvement, you can consult the hospital's beauty department to see if laser treatment can be used.
