I went to see a doc for this ugly problem I have with my eyes and now I am diagnosed with blepharitis. I think she took some sample of my eyelids just to see what have cause my blepharitis and after the results I’ll possibly be prescribed some treatment. I never heard of this blepharitis condition for I never had such problem with my eyes I can’t even open my eyelids at mornings, they are swallowed and red and so itchy that I could scrub them at the moments. So could I expect this blepharitis to vanish soon for I can’t even put my make-up on anymore?

Well, it’s more likely that you occasionally are about not to be able to wear make up. I know it for I am also diagnosed with blepharitis and it never goes away for good it relapses for once you had it usually become chronic. And avoid wearing eye make-up for the hygiene is here very important and sometimes it might happen not to have much to put make-up on for the eyelashes may fall off. Anyway that sample your doc took from your eyelids skin are about to show what have caused you get blepharitis. In my case the cause was sty- bacterial infection that develops in the eyelashes root but there’re also some other causes like chronic pink eye, cornea injury, dry eyes and chalazion. So there’s no much you can do except taking antibiotics especially in cases where rosacea or dandruff are cause to blepharitis and in such cases curing these causes also the blepharitis might be treated successfully but even than blepharitis might reoccur. There’re some self-help steps you may take to provide less chances for blepharitis to relapse- you need to keep warm compresses on your eyes for about 10 min twice a day and then you need to completely clean root eyelashes area with 2 drops of neutral shampoo and than rinse it with warm water. This is the way in which I have control over my blepharitis I now it is boring but it helps a lot.
