Hi,
A friend and I have gotten rid of Blepharitis. My friend's Blepharitis was moving up onto her eyelids. She used a facial scrub that had Benzethonium Chloride in it. I tried to find that product and they were not selling it at that time. It was from Avon. I looked on the internet to see what other products had Benzethonium Chloride in them.
I ended up using WET ONES, an antibacterial hand wipe (in the red box). I was desperate to stop that itching.
I tore each one into 8 strips and used 2 each on each eyelash area for a week and a half. After that I sent down to 3 times a day for about a month. I started to feel better. After that month I sent down to 2 times a day for several months. After I finished with that it itched once or twice and I jumped on it for that day with the wipes and it was no more.
I was able to use mascara at the same time that I was killing the Blepharitis with the help from my daughters. One daughter got me throw away wands on the internet and the other got me throw away applicators from the drug store. I bought new mascara and used 2 wands each time I applied mascara. Never put a used applicator into the mascara. Same with the eye shadow.
I washed each eye with a separate wash rag (I used white to throw into the bleach load).
There were 3 Dr.'s who looked into my eyes trying to find the Blepharitis, including the one who diagnosed the Blepharitis. I was told by 2 that it would come back. I said it has been 4-5 month. Now it is almost a year.
I do use eye drops for lubrication at least 6 times a day. I use flax and fish oil capsules that the Dr. recommended. The Dr. also said to use a warm rag on my eyes in the morning to get things going.
I did try baby shampoo and 3 times antibiotics to help but it did hardly a thing. I would have used any and everything I have read about (tea bags, honey, whatever is out there) to try and stop that itching.
I am grateful that my friend (daughter's mother-in-law) found something to kill Blepharitis.
It has to be bacterial (as mentioned on several medical sites) because these wipes would not have been able to kill it if it wasn't.
I hope this information helps others as I know how horrible that itching can be.
