A five-mo-old baby was referred to the authors with hypopigmentation at both lower lid margins. There was history of “Kajal” application for the first time which was immediately followed by redness and itching over the lids. Three days later there was post-inflammatory hypopigmentation at both the lid margins (Fig. 1). He was diagnosed to have Irritant contact dermatitis to “Kajal” with post—inflammatory hypopigmentation. The parents were advised against Kajal application in future.
