The condition is related to the sebaceous glands in the hair follicles of your eyelashes. Blepharitis can be caused by a bacterial infection. It may also be that you have skin that gets inflamed easily. There is a statistical association between blepharitis and atopic eczema, seborrheic eczema and rosacea.
Your dermatologist will recommend that you keep the area around your eyes clean. As this is an infection, clean the area of each eye separately with clean cloths or cotton to avoid spreading it to your other eye or eyes.
Hot water and shampoo work well and the pharmacy also has mild antibacterial wipes that can be used.
You may also need antibiotics and possibly cortisone cream. In this case, you must get advice from your doctor.
Blepharitis can be annoying, but it is relatively easy to treat. However, it may come back, so keep your eyes open for this and keep them clean.
