Accepted Answer

Blepharitis: Your description sounds like blepharitis which is inflammation if the eyelids due to blocked up oil glands.  I would try warm compresses with over-the-counter scrubs 2x/day, omega-3 oral supplements.  If no improvement, you may need a course of an antibiotic/steroid ointment.  You may consider seeing an eye doctor to confirm the diagnosis as well.
