As most of you know my eye has had problems since April, I been given different eye creams.
Well I am told it is blepharitis , if you look up images for it on the internet. I think it looks like my eye.
I will be seeing an eye doctor soon, from what I understand, not contagious, treatable, but no cure.

Yes, it can be treated. I had a very mild case and was told to use warm compresses to relive it. Their are other treatments to keep the eyelid clean of bacteria. I was also told to use a mild baby shampoo to clean my eye lids.

It's eyelid inflammation? It's since April? that's too long. Sometimes my eyelids hurt too but I wait for a week and it will be gone

I went to urgent care in April they gave me a cream said eye infection but it has gone on some time, then a nurse told me I had a stye right after the eye infection cleared up but it never went away and just seems to be getting worse.

You also can use Apple Cider Vinegar (brand name of Braggs) and put a few drops in warm water and it cleans the eye really well Jelly.
I have had this too and that vinegar gets rid of it. It does not sting as long as you ratio the warm water and vinegar right and use cotton balls or pads.

That looks pretty bad. It also looks painful. There needs to be a cure for that. Praying that it feels better and looks better.
I managed to mess up my eye, too. I dropped some disinfectant in a bucket of water and it splashed up right into my eye. I put my face under the cold water faucet but I could still feel the burning inside the eyelid. I have never done anything that stupid at work all the years I have been there.

Is your eyes better? that sounds bad. for me ,half of my eye is close, this thing is on the top of my eyelid inside the top eyelid and the bottom.

@CookieMonster46 I looked it up. Warm compresses and gentle cleaning of the area are the best things to do for it. Or follow your doctor's advice if it is different.
