Blepharitis (Eyelid Inflammation) Treatment in Johor Bahru
Blefaritis (Radang Kelopak Mata)
Blepharitis is a common chronic condition where the edges of the eyelids become inflamed, red, and crusty. It is caused by bacterial overgrowth, blocked meibomian glands (the oil-producing glands in the eyelid), or skin conditions like seborrheic dermatitis and rosacea. In Malaysia, blepharitis is exacerbated by heat, humidity, and dust. It is not contagious and is not caused by poor hygiene, but it does require consistent daily eyelid care.
Symptoms of Blepharitis (Eyelid Inflammation)
⚠️ When to See a Doctor
See a doctor if eyelid redness and crusting persist despite warm compresses and lid cleaning, if your vision is affected, or if you develop a painful stye or chalazion. Severe blepharitis can cause corneal damage and should be assessed by a doctor.
