A member asked:

How do i get rid of this blepharitis that i have had for years off and on?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Control, but no cure: Blepharitis is a chronic condition affecting probably half the world's population! it has not cure but is relatively easy to control by a warm compress to the eyelids followed by scrubbing horizontally with a q-tip wet with hot water and containing a tiny drop of baby shampoo followed by rinsing. Once a day.
