  Blepharitis is an eye condition characterized by chronic inflammation of the eyelid, often caused by an excess growth of bacteria that is ordinarily found on the skin, blockage of the eyelid's oil glands, and occasionally allergies. Blepharitis may be easy to cause reddened, itchy, swollen and scaly-appearing at the base of the eyelashes. The basic thing to deal with blepharitis is keep your hand and face clean all the time.

  It depends on the causes you got the disease. Is it the tiredness of your eyes, unclear hands rubbing, food allergic or diabeties? If you had it not long before, hot-wet compression can help relieve. At the same time, you can coat the sick skin with zijin trouche compound with antiphlogosis (attention that do not get it In your eyes), you can also coat with the juice of emilia sonchifolia and dayflower or dandelion. Notice that never crush the pus with your hands, but do surgery to recover and avoid the scar.
