A. Allergic shiners are dark circles under the eyes caused by congestion of the nose and sinuses. They’re usually described as dark, shadowy pigments that resemble bruises. There are many possible causes of dark circles under your eyes, but allergic shiners got their name because allergies are best known for causing them. Allergic shiners are also called allergic facies and periorbital hyperpigmentation. The symptoms of allergic shiners include round, shadowy pigmentation of the skin underneath the eyesblue- or purple-colored tint under the eyes, like a bruise..Allergic shiners are caused by nasal congestion, another term for a stuffy nose. Nasal congestion happens when the tissues and blood vessels in the nose become swollen with excess fluid. A common cause of nasal congestion is allergic rhinitis, or allergies. This is often the case in children and young adults. The most effective way to treat allergies is to avoid the allergen, but that’s not always possible. There are many OTC treatments available to treat seasonal allergies, including antihistamines, decongestants and nasal steroid sprays, anti-inflammatory, eye drops..
