Question

Why do children’s lower eyelids turn blue?

Answer

Observations suggest that children’s blue under-eye circles may be related to the following reasons:

  1. Lack of Sleep: Long-term insufficient sleep can lead to poor blood circulation around the eyes, causing bags and dark circles.
  2. Vitamin Deficiency: Especially a deficiency in Vitamin A, which can affect skin health and lead to darkening of the eye area skin. To address these issues, the following measures can be taken:
  3. Ensure Adequate Sleep: Try to have children go to bed early at night and avoid excessive use of electronic devices.
  4. Balanced Diet: Increase intake of foods rich in Vitamin A, such as animal livers, eggs, spinach, and carrots.
  5. Massage Relief: Gently massaging the area around the child’s eyes can promote blood circulation and relieve bags and dark circles.
  6. Undergo Relevant Checks: If the above measures are ineffective, it is recommended to take the child to a hospital for dermatology and pediatric checks to determine if there are other underlying causes. Please note that if the child’s condition does not improve, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly for professional diagnosis and treatment.
