What are allergic shiners from hay fever?
Allergic shiners are dark circles that appear under the eyes due to hay fever, which is an allergic reaction to pollen or other allergens. These circles occur when the blood vessels under the eyes become dilated and more visible, often resulting from inflammation and congestion caused by the allergy. They can give the appearance of tiredness or fatigue.
Key points:
- Allergic shiners are caused by hay fever-related allergies.
- They result from inflammation and congestion in the nasal area.
- Dark circles are linked to blood vessel changes beneath the eyes.
- They can affect a person's appearance and may be mistaken for fatigue.
