Marked blepharitis

Blepharitis is an inflammation that affects the eyelid, the edge of the eyelid, and the eyelash follicles.

In Seborrheic Blepharitis skin cells shed more rapidly than normal and excess oil is secreted by glands in the eyelid. This results in inflammation and promotes bacterial growth.

In Infectious Blepharitis, bacteria cause an infection in the glands along the eyelid.

Contact Dermatitis Blepharitis is inflammation caused by eyelid contact with a toxin or allergen. For example, mascara may produce an allergic reaction, jalapeno a toxic reaction.
