Time frame?: These are all the components of what we call seborrheic blepharitis. This is a semi-chronic condition which can be controlled, even with intervals of symptom free time, but which tends to recur. You might benefit from an anti-allergic eyedrop such as naphcon-a (over the counter). Discuss with your ophthalmologist the benefits of short term topical steroid cream.

Dry: Try frequent artificial tears, warm compresses at least 4 times a day for 5 min each, and if this does not help, call your eye doctor to discuss restasis, a wonderful tear stimulating eye drop (requires a doctor's prescription).
