Dandruff on your lashes could mean either blepharitis or seborrheic dermatitis.------------- 1. Blepharitis-------Blepharitis is a common condition that involves the drying, swelling, reddening and itching of the eyes. Other symptoms of having the eyes become flaky may also occur. It is usually caused by bacteria or by your eyelid glands becoming blocked causing this area to become inflamed. Although blepharitis is not a serious ailment, neither is it contagious, it is chronic and may recur if proper preventive measures are not done. Blepharitis is usually caused by bacteria. So it is always important to stress that removing any eye makeup before going to sleep is detrimental to the health of your eye area. Aside from bacteria, blepharitis may also be caused by the oil glands in your eyelash area. When these glands produce too much or too little oil, your eyes could either become dry and flaky or swell up and become inflamed.---------------------------- Below are symptoms that should confirm blepharitis.-------------- --The skins on the eyelids become flaky. --The eye area is itchy. --Redness of the eyelids. --The feeling of having something constantly stuck in your eye. --Your eyes are red. --Inflammation (swelling) of the eyelash area. --In more serious cases of blepharitis due to an infection, the eye area could also produce a yellow colored discharge.---------- When the dandruff or flakiness is a side effect of blepharitis the best Homoeopathic treatment would be ------ ARGENTUM-NITRICUM 30 (SBL) Drink2 dropsin 1 spoon fresh water 3 times daily------------- EUPHRASIA 30 (Dr Reckeweg) Drink 2 drops direct on tongue every 2-3 hrly---------------- CINERARIA /EUPHRASIA EYEDROPS (SBL) pour into eyes 1-2 drops 3 times daily--------------------- TOPI ?AZADIRACHITA Cream on the roots of Eyelashes before sleep---- Until then, using a hot compress on the affected area helps with the discomfort.-------- 2.
