title: [A 16-year-old female patient with massive bilateral blepharedema].
abstract: METHODS
  A 16-year-old female patient initially presented with bilateral swelling and redness of the eyelids already existing for the duration of two days. The symptoms had started after the patient dyed her eyelashes and eyebrows with henna.
  
  
  METHODS
  Systemic antihistamine and glucocorticoid therapy led to no visible improvement. An intravenous antibiotic treatment was started which resolved the symptoms entirely.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The diagnosis of an allergic contact dermatitis with a secondary bacterial infection was made.
