hi I am a blepharitis sufferer for over ten years and have tried almost everything and had no results just like the rest of you. I am now able to wear eye make up etc and my contacts again because I tried something different . a warm flannel soaked in oilatum bath (which Is meant to eczema). the crusts literally slide off so there's no scrubbing til they're red n sore and you have no confidence to even look at anyone. you only need to soak your eyes for about 2-5mins to get a result too. unlike the baby shampoo which u have to stand there for about ten -15 mins. please people try this it does work. it isn't expensive and will last at least a year

    Hi Chevonnehawkins

    I am a long time sufferer of the blep and also look for cures and treatments that work for me. 

    I was intrigued with your oilatum discussion.  So I went on the amazone site to order, cause here is canada we do not sell it.  I was surprised to see so many products under the oilatum brand.  Could you please be more specific with which bath product you use.  Perhaps a picture or image would be great.  Also, when you said you soak the warm flannel in bath product do you mean soaking wet?  the entire flannel or just where it covers your eyes?

    Your input and suggestions will be most helpful.
