A member asked:
For what length of time can blepharitis last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Forever: Blepharitis is a chronic condition characterized by periods of relative inactivity and relapses. It often never really goes away. A regimen of warm compresses for 5 minutes a day will usually keep it in check long term.
