I’ve just read that baby shampoo has coconut in it & can cause blepharitis to flare up?! Seems some people can be allergic to coconut either on skin or in your diet.
Thanks a lot doctor. I have blepharitis (as a result of infection, that keeps going in and out for quite a long time). I used a large number of different medications to stop the infection, but in several months it still came back. Maybe in different types, but mainly in the very same eye. Recently, my doctor offered to use I-LID'N LASH plus to use it at bedtime. After using it for about a week (along with TobraDex), the result is still pretty much the same - there are a lot of debris in the upper eyelid. Doctor said that using these cleaning wipes for 1-2 months on a daily basis should help and after to see the result. I wonder if there are any other true medications I may be looking for?🤷♂
I have dry eyes due to the blepharitis and I have started on Xiidra eye drops for the dry eyes. I seems to be helping but is not a cure. I use otc Systane eye gel before bed, and find most nights I no longer need to apply additional otc eye drops during the night. I found when I missed one nighttime dose of the Xiidra, I was up multiple times during the night applying otc eye drops and my eyes were so awfully dry and painful, I could not sleep.
@@zevc3591 I woke and remembered that I also have plugs for my tear ducts, which help keep what little moisture in my eyes. They are replaced every six months and because they numb the eyes with drops, it is a painless procedure. Google it.
