Brief Answer:
Blepharitis due to seborheic dermatitis.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for follow up query.
This may be due to associated seborheic dermatitis or dandruff.It is called as Blepharitis.
Please treat your dandruff :
Use soft water for hair wash at least twice a week.
Use antidandruff shampoo with ketoconazole .
Wash your eyes daily with warm water twice daily.
You can use cotton to wipe them
Do not apply cosmetics to face or eyes or nails.
You can try with topical eye antibiotics.
You may try with steroid topicals if does not respond.
Treating dandruff usually subsides these eye rash also.
There are always chances of recurrence.So always keep dandruff under control. Also keep eyes clean.
Low estrogen levels can cause dryness and increased frequency of seborheic dermatitis as in menopausal women.
You consult gynecologist for hormonal problems and management.
If you have any clarification you can get back to me else please close the discussion and rate.
