Question

I've been struggling with dark circles under my eyes for the past 10 years. I've tried several dark circle creams, but nothing seems to work. Could this be linked to my digestive system, even though I don't have any digestive problems? Also, I'm noticing premature grey hair and experiencing hair loss. Do you think these issues require a physical examination, or is there something else I should consider?
