Jaipur, India
55 DoctorsNavya Chopra, a 28-year-old software engineer,...
Navya Chopra, a 28-year-old software engineer, had always taken pride in her clear skin. Six months ago, she developed a persistent, itchy, red rash on her neck and upper chest. It flared with stress and sweat, often feeling like a burning sensation. Over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream provided only temporary relief. Her dermatologist, Dr. Lee, examined the rash and diagnosed it as a contact dermatitis, likely triggered by her new nickel-plated fitness tracker strap and exacerbated by her high-stress job. Dr. Lee recommended a two-pronged approach: strict avoidance of the allergen and a short course of a topical corticosteroid cream to calm the inflammation. Navya felt anxious and self-conscious, covering her neck with scarves even in summer. The treatment was simple to apply but required discipline. After two weeks of consistent application and switching to a hypoallergenic watch band, the redness and itching subsided dramatically. A month later, her skin was clear. Navya felt a profound sense of relief and regained her confidence. The experience taught her to be more mindful of materials against her skin and to manage her stress better, transforming her anxiety into proactive self-care.
