Why are my eyelids red, flaky, and burning?

Blepharitis: You likely have blepharitis, a common inflammation of the eyelids. May also lead to blepharoconjunctivitis (infection). Remedies often involve hot compresses, lid hygiene with a wash cloth and diluted baby shampoo, gentle massage of the eyelids with the warm wash cloth, and occasionally antibiotic ointments or drops like azasite, and if severe, a combination of an antibiotic and steroid.

Blepharitis: Your symptoms could be from a variety of causes, but blepharitis is the most common. It is a condition where the glands in your eyelids are dysfunctional, and may produce too much mucus and oil, and this may cause crusting, redness, or sometimes infections. Seek your eye doctor right away to find out if this is the cause, and get proper treatment.
