Endless cycle - Upper eyelid inflammation

For around the last 3 months I have been dealing with an issue with my eyelid.

When it started I thought it was just a tiny scratch on my eyelid that was healing but I don't think this is the case

It is stuck in an endless cycle; it starts off as inflamed and wet, after a day or so (usually the next morning when I wake) I find that my eyelid is sticky with occasional burning with yellowish scabbing which keeps on developing, once the skin starts to 'heal' it goes dry and starts to peel so I usually put some moisturiser on it to stop it from drying out. After the peeling has gone or is nearly gone my eyelid looks a lot better but still looks darker than my healthy one. After it starts to look better and promising it goes right back to the start with being red and wet..

I've looked online for a while and cannot find any information, I do not think this is blepharitis as it doesn't affect my eyelash area of my eyelid

I will attach some pictures to give an example of the first two stages

    Sounds like psorasis,if it is the doctor can prescribe an ointment for you but as you say it can be a bit of an endless cycle it needs the right medication to calm it down.

    Agree with Jacqblue. You need a doctor/dermatologist to sort this out. No,definitely not Blepharitis.
