Will vitamin e oil get rid of purple dots under eyes?
I’ve had these dark purple area which has dots under my eyes for about a year now and ive been using hemorrhoid cream but its not helping really. Will putting vitamin e oil on this and leaving it on overnight be ok to try or will this be too heavy? I do have severe depression and have horrible insomnia so that could be contributing to it.

Little red dots are usually due to small capillaries in your skin that have burst. Maybe you rub your eyes hard in your sleep?
If they have been there for a year, they will not be eliminated by any type of topical application. I have very light skin and have had these small red dots in various places, including my face, many times.
You can go to a dermatologist to have them fixed. They will likely take a little tool (cauterizer) that has a thin piece of wire on the end and ‘zap’ them away. It works by burning the burst vessel, thereby closing the ends of it and eliminating the little blood spot. It stings like crazy for a second, then goes away. Sometimes takes a couple treatments to make it go away for good.
Vitamin E won’t hurt you, but it could get in your eyes, or cause zits from the excess oil.
