I have blepharitis and my upper and lower eyelid margins are quite thick and have been for about two years now. My doctor told me to use warm compresses followed by a lid scrub. I use the scrubs at night and have been for about two years now. I make a solution with a cup of water and two drops of baby shampoo and then I dip a cotton round into the solution and squeeze it out just a little so it isn t dripping wet. I then wipe from the inner corner to the outer corner about six times and then rinse the lids off in the shower. My doctor told me to express the glands after the compress but nothing comes out. In the morning I use the warm compress but no scrubs. When I use the compress in the morning the eyes look very good and the lid margins look much better but after about a half hour the eyelid margins look thick againl
