Blepharitis: You likely have blepharitis, which is only caused by demodex rarely. It is usually from normal bacteria of the skin, may be related to allergies or skin conditions. Blepharitis is a long-term problem, and one that tends to recur if treatment is not continued. Start with an ophthalmologist. More info: blepharitis info</a.
