A member asked:

Can i wear eye make up daily with chronic mild blepharitis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Wearing eye makeup may make the blepharitis worse. It would be better to discontinue it until you the blepharitis is treated and then start it again. I would suggest throwing out the old and starting with new.

Dr Pack and another doctor agreed

I read that chronic dry eye, conjunctivitis or blepharitis can be the underlying cause of rubeosis iridis. If obvious causes are ruled out, could this be a possible cause?

Asked about the blepharitis earlier. Is hsv of the eye always painful? Or is it only painful to touch? Can it be mild on the skin near the eye? Will it respond to cleaning and antibiotic? Is it usually itchy? Symptoms lasted a week but mild, itchy?

Blepharitis/ dermatitis also in my eyebrows for 9 yrs. Scales/dry eye daily. Prior, I did a hair replacement system for 10 yrs. The scalp bond wasn't clean often. Could this have caused demodex? Never had it before that. Will brows/lashes grow back?
