Folliculitis: It is likely to be a chronic infection of the hair follicle. You may try fomentation to see if that helps in resolution. If not you should see an eye doctor.

Question 2

i am having od upper eyelid swelling, tenderness along the upper lash line, and aching. i use refresh eye drops and optifree wipes.

Accepted Answer

Sty, blepharitis: Your upper eyelid swelling may be due to inflammation of the eyelid marginal oil glands and skin at the base of the eyelashes. Any reddish pimple-like swelling could also be a sty, a localized infection of an oil gland. Try moderately hot moist compresses 2 to 4 times/day and apply for 10', followed by cleaning the eyelid lashes with SteriLid eye pad link: https://youtu.be/eIruHhmm31Y

Question 5

my inner eyelashes are missing from pulling them out months ago. usually my lashes grow back but these arent. are they gone for good? what can i do?

Accepted Answer

Perhaps: Lashes when pulled, usually grow back within few weeks.  If your lashes have not grown back in several months, there is a good chance that their roots are damaged and they will not grow back.  You should not pull your lashes since they can grow in a wrong direction and be quite irritating and damaging to your eyes.  consult an ophthalmologist if such problem occurs.
