Blepharitis n dry eyes. for 2 months used eye mask 2x/day- microwave 10sec, put 5 mins. reduced to 1x. eyes very red everytime after eye mask. stop?

Don't use eye mask: with microwave heat. 10 seconds may not seem like much, but what is most effective is moist warm/hot compresses applied from sink tap water, and applying it to your eyelids for 5 mins.That means reapplying the compresses again when it cools down. You will need to see an eye doctor to have them give you a prescription ointment, and see what's really causing your blepharitis thru microscope.
