Blepharitis Symptoms, Causes & Treatments
Blepharitis Overview
When oil glands at the base of your eyelashes become clogged and irritated, it can cause an inflamed condition called blepharitis. Dermatitis, bacterial infections, allergies, and more can trigger blepharitis. The best way to find out what’s causing it and what you can do to treat it is by scheduling an appointment.
Treatment of Blepharitis
Your eye doctor may recommend treating blepharitis flare-ups with topical and oral antibiotics, steroid drops, and other medications that address underlying conditions.
They may also recommend applying a warm compress to the affected area and gently washing eyelids with diluted baby shampoo.
