Dry, Red Eyelids, Flaking, Swollen, Tender To Touch. Applied HC Cream, Neutrogena. Meet Dermatologist?
thank you. I have very dry red eyelids. often cracking, flaking, swollen. tender to touch. i have noticed that my eyelashes are shorter, thinner. i have used HC cream, which just makes them flakier. and it burns. I use neutrogena make up remover and cleanser for my face, thinking hypo allergenic product will be easier to my skin. not.
wondering what it might be, should i see a dermatologist? can i use something otc?
thank you.

Hi,
It seems from the history that you are having blepharitis for which you have used HC cream.
Usually blepharitis requires treatment for a long time as it is a chronic condition. The treatment options depends on the type and severity of blepharitis. Hence I advice you to consult ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
