Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms. In order to diagnose dark areas under eyes, we could:

Research the topic
Find a doctor with the time
Use a diagnostic computer system.

The process is the same, whichever method is used.

Step 1: List all Possible Causes

We begin by identifying the disease conditions which have "dark areas under eyes" as a symptom. Here are six possibilities:

Lack Of Sleep
Liver Congestion
Parasite Infection
Food Allergies
Allergic Tension
Kidney Disease

Step 2: Build a Symptom Checklist

We then identify all possible symptoms and risk factors of each possible cause, and check the ones that apply:

metallic taste in mouth

poor mental clarity

mild facial burning/tingling

history of eczema

meal-related bloating

slightly elevated eosinophil count

long-term hypertension

elevated liver enzymes

flatulence

frequent rotten egg burps

significant left lumbar pain

afternoon headaches

... and more than 110 others

Step 3: Rule Out or Confirm each Possible Cause

A differential diagnosis of your symptoms and risk factors finds the likely cause of dark areas under eyes:

Cause	Probability	Status
Liver Congestion	95%	Confirm
Food Allergies	58%	Possible
Lack Of Sleep	14%	Unlikely
Parasite Infection	2%	Ruled out
Kidney Disease	1%	Ruled out
Allergic Tension	0%	Ruled out

* This is a simple example to illustrate the process
