I dont know if this is the place to ask this.. But recently, i started
a new job that requires me to sit infront of a laptop for very long
hours. When i look in the mirror now, i see some black color under my
eyes, toward the nose area and i think its spreading or something...
Anyone can advise on this?
Thanks in advance!

It may be what are called "allergic shiners."
From the Mayo Clinic:
Q: What causes black circles under the eyes?
A: Dark circles under the eyes are common but usually not permanent. They're
often due to temporary changes in the blood vessels under the eyes. Fatigue
usually doesn't play a role. Sometimes under-eye darkening is the result of
a chronic skin condition such as atopic eczema. This is more noticeable in
people with darker skin. Under-eye circles can also run in families.
