Blepharitis: Lid hygiene is the recommended treatment for anterior blepharitis which is a chronic condition requiring continuing maintenance. Lid hygiene involves removal of the debris with q tips. I'm the past dilute solutions of johnson's baby shampoo was recommended . Now there are over the counter products available such as lid scrubs .Acute episodes may require antibiotic steroid combination ointments

See a dermatologist: Seborrheic dermatitis or eczema are likely. You may need a prescription for Elidel (pimecrolimus) or Protopic oint. Do not use cortisones on eyelids. Meanwhile try washing with baby shampoo. Try otc Miconazole or Clotrimazole or ketoconazole cream.
