Hi There
After going through your query i understand your concern.
I would like to tell you that Blepharitis is a bacterial infection of eyelids and can result from direct microbial invasion of tissue, immune system mediated or production of bacterial toxins, waste products and enzymes. There are multiple causes of blephartis , and to cure symptoms you have to treat cause of blepharitis.
Tea tree oil can be used in fungal skin infections
Kindly consult a Ophathalmologist for further care.
Hope to have been Helpful.
Kind Regards
Dr. Navneet Bansal
