Hi,

There's something that's bothering me & I hope that someone can help. If you're wondering why I don't go see my doctor, it's because I don't really have a doctor. I hope I can get some insight through this forum...

I have dark circles/shadows under both my eyes probably from lack of sleep. What's concerning me is the shadow under my right eye. There seems to be an irregular-shaped (almost circular), dark pigmented patch of skin that extends from the left corner of the shadow under my eye -downwards. It's a shade darker than the shadow under my eye. Its about 3/4 inch long and a little more than 1/4 inch wide. I've tried looking online for possible causes but I haven't found anything. It doesn't look like an early case of melanoma (its not BROWN or protruding) but I'm not an expert. Its kind of like a bruise. My pores are visible which makes it look kind of rough and the dark pigment (a grayish color) varies in certain places.

Symptoms related to eye: Recently I've also developed small blood vessels in my right eye that extends from the right corner towards the iris. They're persistent (not going away). I don't know if that's tied to it or not. Also, my eyes get kind of blurry when I look at a white board. I use glasses sometimes, though they're not a serious prescription.

I didn't always have the dark shadows or the irregular pigmentation.


Thank you. I hope someone can respond!
