Treatment For Itching, Crusting, And Swollen Eye Lids?
I have had itiching and crusting and swelling eye lids. I also have sticky white leaking in the inner corner as well.
I have been to my Doctor twice and have been put on predisone as well. None of this has helped.i wake up in the morning and above and below my eyes is white dry flakes.It looks like someone has punched me in the eye. The right eye is worst then the left eye. The itiching is driving me crazy,.I have been putting eye drops for itching in my eyes which doesn't help at all.
Thanks.

You are having blepharitis. You should clean the lid with wet sterile cotten swab. APply neosporine ophthalmic ointment on lid margin.Use cromal eye drop 3 times inboth eye. Take levocetrizine 5mg tablet at bed time for one week. You will be alright within few days.
