Could be a symptom of a food allergy or other allergy. Does she also have little creases(lines) under her eyes or the crease across her nose? These are good signs she is an allergic child.\n\nMy son has milk sensitivity and gets this condition alot when he eats something that contains milk products. I have also noticed that after a candy, soda and junkfood addeled weekend with dad, my daughter would come home with these as well. Ive noticed her butt (a n u s) had the same dark shiner look when I would change her diaper. Food dyes, preservatives, MSG, and excess sugar can cause this as well as of course regular old seasonal allergies. \n\nhttp://www.med.umich.edu/1libr/pa/pa_darkcirc_hhg.htm\nhttp://allergies.about.com/od/darkcircles/a/aa071304.htm\nhttp://www.allergynursing.com/questions3/shiners.html

Do you drink a lot of milk or other dairy products?  Sometimes dairy products cause dark circles.  Try not taking and dairy products for a few day and see if they clear up.

My daughter has Lupus.  She is 35 years old now and was diagnosed when she was 16 years old.  She had 2 children in her early 20's and is doing fine.  She is still on steroids now and probably always be.

GET A SECOND OPINION!! Just an example on why you should: my daughter kept having eye discharge. When I took her to her regualr pediatrician, she said that her eye ductas are probably too small to drain her eyes. That it would resolve itself in time. I took her to a second pediatrician. The second gave me an oinment becase she thought it was an infection. Sure enough, the ointment cleared the problem! If you feel uneasy about it, like you do now, get a second opinion! Never leave your child health in jeopardy!

My 4 yr old daughter has a bit of a lazy eye, and surgery was an option for her, but we took her to an eye specialist and found out that glasses can also help correct it. I would contact an eye specialist, that deals with children that have lazy eyes, and or crossed eyes. Hope this has helped.

First of all, I experienced this problem recently with my child.  It is very painful!  The treatment we gave her is basically the same as it would be for anyone.\n\nWhen you scratch the cornea it makes your eye very sensitive to light, there is pain varying in the degree of the scratched area, and a lot of uncontrollable tears.\n\nWe had no idea what was wrong with her so we took her to the emergency room.  They evalutated her and found it to be an issue with her eye.\n\nTo confirm the problem a special dye was put in and the room lights were turned out while a black light was hovered over the eye.  It clearly shows the depth of the cut.  Everything shows up a fluorescent green color.  We could see how badly her eye was cut.\n\nHer treatment included: an antibiotic to apply to the eye, an eye patch to protect the eye, however, in our case our child was too small to tolerate the eye patch so we kept her in a darkened room for about 24 hours and she was able to tolerate light once again. She was also given medication to help relieve the pain.\n\nWe were told she shouldn't rub the eye as this would only aggravate the pain and healing process.  The doctor said the cornea is the fastest healing area of the body and only takes a day or two to heal.  That is the good news!\n\nThis was my personal experience and the treatment is the general treatment for anyone with a cornea scratch.

my 3 year old has them I was worried but my side of the family has them and my husbands side bags dark circles after I talked to the doctor and realized that it can be genetic I stopped worring so much. Still 10 was the age that I started having migraines and that was the first sign that showed up.

sounds like it could be retinoblastoma. It's bascially a tumor in the eye. Can be malignant. The only way to get rid of it is to remove the whole eye.. I mean if this is what she has. It's better to do it sooner than later before it spreads to the other eye. Any how the best thing to do would be to see a dr.

She always looks scared. So yes. I used to love the way she looked with her crooked smile and dark hair and olive skin. Now she looks so tired and scared all the time. Deer in the headlights I think we need to get together and set her and the baby free. She'd be better with someone who was mentally stable and closer to her age.

Others seem to think it may be chicken pox.  That may indeed be the case.  In that instance, you may want to get her in to the pediatrician right away.  Sometimes, a call to the physician with a description of the symptoms may be enough to give you direction.\n\nIt also sounds as simple as heat rash, commonly known as "prickly heat."  (The latin term is miliaria rubra.)  You didn't indicate if the spots are raised or flat.  In prickly heat, her skin is reacting to a surface that it was exposed to, ie: her pillow, mattress, etc., and sweat has become trapped.  Although it generally appears on other parts of the body, it can appear on the face, depending upon where the exposure was.\n\nIf prickly heat is determined, then washing with a soft, clean washcloth, warm water, and a gentle soap is in order.  Certainly, a trip to her pediatrician should be next.  He may suggest nothing more strong than calamine lotion.\n\nI hope, for her sake, that it is something simple and not a more involved childhood illness.  In either event, quarantine her from the other family members, particularly if they are not innoculated or have not previously been exposed to chicken pox.
