Ophthalmologist Dr. Dadapeer K's  Response
Hello
It seems from the history that you are having flaky eyelids.
This indicates blepharitis.
The general treatment is by use of lid scrubs and antibiotic eye ointment.
The specific treatment depends on the subtype, the common sub types are squamous blepharitis, ulcerative blepharitis and posterior blepharitis.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
