Should The Cleansing Routine For Blepharitis With Water, Drops Of Selsun Blue And Selenium Sulfide Be Done Everyday?
I have blepharitis and I am using a solution made up of half a cup of warm water and a few drops of selsun blue with selenium sulfide. I stir it up really well and take a cotton pad and dip it in the solution and squeeze out the excess. I then rub back and forth gently with the cotton pad over my closed eyelid and rinse it off in the shower. My question is should I use this cleansing routine every day or every other day

Hello
it seems from the history that you are having blepharitis and taking treatment in the form of lid cleaning.
Blepharitis is a chronic condition and treatment is required for 3-4 months.
The treatment is in the form of lid hygeine by cleaning the eyelids and by use of antibitotic eye ointment. Oral antibiotics like tetracycline in used in severe cases.
Lid cleaning is the most basic treatment and it is required to be done daily for atleast 3 months.
Thank you
