r/Blepharitis

Is there some medicine or method I can use to keep it down forever I don't have any money for surgery or steroids

I’ve had this for about two years on both of my eyes, and no ophthalmologist has been able to fix it. They keep prescribing eye drops or wipes, but the crusts are still coming back almost every day, and I’m honestly tired of it. I’m even losing eyelashes from cleaning sometimes.
My skin is really oily, but I don’t think this is just sebum. My eyes aren’t red or puffy, but it definitely doesn’t look very appealing to look at yk. Do you know what this is? Pls help 🥹🥹.

EDIT: I’d like to add that I’m a teenager and the crusts started to appear when my skin became very oily (it wasn’t before puberty).

It started off as a stye, then a small chalazion, I tried warm compress and a squeeze and heard a pop then it got bigger and inflammed. I am on vacation and over the bs. Im ready to lance it cus I dont have money for surgical removal and warm compress isnt working. Its been this big for about 4 days now. I have the warm eyepatch but its not working quick enough to my liking and Im on Vaca for the whole month. It does leak fluid sporadically but again not enough for me.

Your thoughts?

i got this puppy a few days ago. i had noticed her eyes were watery the first night i brought her home. i thought she was crying or something… she’s been with my mom due to my work schedule, when i picked her up today, her eyes looked like this. google has me thinking it’s blepharitis. it seems to not be bothering her at the moment. she’s running around, playing, eating and drinking. im having anxiety, she’s literally 13 weeks old.. i don’t know where this came from. is it going to get worse? is there anything i should be doing that i may not be doing? ive been cleaning it with a warm wash cloth & am going to take her to the vet. has anyone else dealt with this? will it clear up quickly once she has medicine? thanks in advanced. 💔

my 4 year old has had her chalazion for about 2 months now. can anyone tell me if it’s getting near the end

Anybody else have cyclical eye swelling and general discomfort/inflamed feeling around your eyes during or around your period or ovulation? I have seen so many specialists and my current reproductive endo thinks my body is just extremely sensitive to fluctuations in hormones. Currently trying to stabilize the fluctuations through combined birth control . I’m on week 10 of taking it continuously but still having symptoms. Wondering if anybody has experienced similar symptoms or has any advice ?

Symptoms (usually days 14/15 to day 5 of my period)
\- eye edema
\- extreme discomfort under eye area
\- eye dryness
\- insomnia
\- extremely lethargic
\- brain fog
\- moody and irritable around period

Specialist and things I have ruled out
\- nephrologist , kidneys are healthy
\- thyroid, TED labs all normal
\- negative for hereditary angio-edema
\- ANA negative
\- seen multiple allergists , I have no allergies and my progesterone skin patch test was normal
\- vision and wyes are healthy but being followed by ocular plastic surgery incase hormonal birth control isn’t effective in stabilizing symptoms they may want to do a biopsy

I woke up this morning and one of my eyes was a bit red with some stinging sensation present. I felt a bit of that sensation in the other eye as well but not as much. There is a portion of redness along with a noticeable amount of greenish/yellow ‘eyecrud’ in the corner, and a couple strands of mucus type substance near the lashes. I had also noticed a bit of redness before going to sleep. I’m not sure if this is bacterial/viral or something more mild. I only slept for four hours or so so not sure if the milder coloration is due to having less tearless time so to speak.

Photo in comments is the same eye three hours later.

It started in November. I used an anti-inflammatory gel and an antibiotic gel prescribed by my doctor, and it gradually improved. In the last photo, you can see its current condition. That tiny, almost invisible bump feels hard, and I haven't been able to get rid of it, even with warm compresses. I've also been using eye drops because I have dry eyes. Nothing seems to work to get rid of that small bump shown in the last photo. Any suggestions?

Hi is anyone able to give any advice please. I’m on week 11 and although it was way worse initially, I’ve seen no change for the last 5 or 6 weeks. I’m trying to work out if I can justify the cost of seeing a specialist for them to cut it out as my GP won’t refer me to nhs and said the private cost including consultation will be about £800 :( it’s so hard to know if it will clear up on its own, it’s been 11 weeks of this and it was way worse initially but it’s not changed for the past 6 weeks or so..

GP also said cutting it wound be likely to scar so I’m wondering if anyone has a bad scar from surgery? She said it’s probably just taking a long time to settle after infection (it was badly infected to begin with). Thanks!

help, ive had this for 8 months and this happened now, is it draining? should i pop it?

I have been warm compressing this since 5 6 days. What does the next phase look like?
Will this pop? Or resolve on its own? Or will i have to get it cut out?

So I've started treating my chalazion, that ive had for about 9 months. I have been using the we love eyes treatment and while this has helped with dry eyes, I no longer wake up with super blurry vision and dry eyes. I feel like my chalazion is getting wider and encompassing more of my lower lid. I don't have any prior photos for comparison, and while it is less raised it does feel wider. Has anyone else experienced, it getting "worse" before getting better. Also I only have been treating once a day for about 5 days so it hasn't been long.

Was prescribed neo poly dex for 5-7 days. I wear contacts, but kept my contact out of my right eye since surgery. Just put it back in today (July 1)

hi, can someone tell me what may be wrong with my eye? it is very early morning for me, and ive been up for about 20 hours. I know that can cause harmless temporary eye issues, but please consider all my symptoms before writing it off as that! i want to know if there is potentially a larger issue here.

around 30 mins to an hour ago, my right eye started hurting. I looked in the mirror and my bottom eyelid was swollen (it's hard to tell in the picture but it is there. my eye doesnt normally look like that). it doesnt seem like I have any difference in vision, just a slight pain and a weird feeling. so I decided to elevate my head and go to sleep. within just a few minutes, I feel something go down from the swollen eye to my upper right cheek and the pain moves with it.

i know I have some dental issues that I haven't dealt with due to lack of insurance, so im paranoid about possible infections from that. i do also have acne in the surrounding area and sores on my head from skin picking if that would affect anything. i also already had a slight ptosis from birth in this eye. and i have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism (but not specifically Graves or any eye diseases).

ghe swelling has not gone down at all. does this sound like simple eye strain or an infection, or something else entirely?

is it safe to go to sleep right now, and should I go see a doctor in the morning?? how urgently and what kind of doctor (primary care provider or an eye doctor?)

thank you!!

It’s not painful but it is if you press on it.
