Jaipur, India
55 DoctorsSara Khan, a 35-year-old graphic designer...
Sara Khan, a 35-year-old graphic designer and new mother from London, developed severe eczema (atopic dermatitis) on her hands and neck postpartum. The relentless itching, redness, and cracking were painful and made caring for her baby difficult. Over-the-counter creams provided minimal relief. Her dermatologist diagnosed a severe flare triggered by hormonal changes and frequent handwashing. She prescribed a short-term course of a potent topical corticosteroid to control the inflammation, followed by a long-term maintenance plan using a topical calcineurin inhibitor and intensive moisturizing. Sara was initially worried about steroid use but followed the plan closely. The intense inflammation subsided within a week. By maintaining her new skincare routine, she has prevented major flares for months. Emotionally, Sara moved from exhaustion and feeling overwhelmed by constant discomfort to feeling in control and empowered. Managing her condition allowed her to fully enjoy motherhood without the burden of painful skin.
