Saanvi Davis, a 28-year-old graphic designer,...
Saanvi Davis, a 28-year-old graphic designer, had struggled with persistent, itchy red patches on her eyelids for over a year. The condition, which she initially thought was just severe eczema, began to cause a thick, yellowish discharge that would crust her lashes shut overnight. As a freelancer who relied on long hours in front of screens, the constant irritation and blurred vision were impacting her work and self-esteem. Her primary care doctor referred her to a dermatologist, suspecting a condition like seborrheic dermatitis or blepharitis affecting the skin of the eyelids. The dermatologist confirmed it was a severe case of seborrheic dermatitis causing the discharge. The treatment involved a combination of gentle daily lid hygiene with special wipes, a short course of a topical antifungal/steroid cream applied carefully to the lid margins, and switching to hypoallergenic eye makeup. The initial application of the cream stung slightly, but the daily routine was simple. Within a week, the redness and itching subsided dramatically, and the morning discharge was gone. Emotionally, Saanvi felt immense relief and a regained sense of normalcy. She had felt self-conscious and frustrated by the chronic, visible nature of the problem; after treatment, her confidence returned along with her ability to focus on her creative work without distraction.
