What Causes Thick Faded Black Line Across The Eyelids?
hi im am a concerned fiance asking about a problem with my male partner. he has what looks like a mm thick faded black line across his eyelids. it almost resembles faded black eyeliner. (he does not wear eyeliner) is this something that can occur if someone does not get enough sleep or would it be something for me to be concerned about?

Hi !
Nothing serious and contagious it appears.
In such a case I will like to advise as below-
Try these things:
Gen clean ocular hygiene
Minimum touching by unclean hands
Gentle dry hot compresses
If itching, use only white clean cotton cloth
Iron and B complex pills for a fortnight or so
Deworming by one tab of albendazole.
If still persists, local application of neosporin H. eye ointment for a few days may be tried
