Periorbital hyperchromia (POH) or periorbital hyperpigmentation, commonly known as "dark circles", is a relatively common condition and a frequent reason for dermatological consultation. It is defined as brown-colored pigmentation, ranging from light to dark, which mainly involves the lower eyelids. POH affects individuals over a wide age range, including both sexes and all ethnicities, and is associated with a tired and aged facial appearance. The most commonly affected people are those with the highest skin phototypes. Although the prevalence is similar between sexes and age groups, POH is a more frequent complaint in women. The dark circles characteristic of POH can negatively impact patients' quality of life, although it is not a condition associated with morbidity. Popularly it is believed that the poor quality of sleep is a factor responsible for its appearance, but there is no consistent data in the literature that prove this.
