A fifty five-year old woman suffered from itching and scaling of the edge of her eyelid. She had long used topical corticosteroid for this condition. Direct examination of the scale by Parker KOH showed numerous fungal elements of spores and hyphae of Malassezia furfur. She was treated with oral itraconazole (100 mg daily or twice a week) for 8 weeks and was cured clinically and mycologically. The result suggests the possibility of treatment with an anti-fungal drug for seborrhoeic blepharitis or seborrhoeic dermatitis.
