10 Causes of Chalazion
Cause #8: Chronic Blepharitis
Chronic blepharitis is a condition that causes the near constant inflammation of the eyelids. This can be very irritating and itchy, causing the patient to rub their eyes a lot. It can also cause a burning sensation, and also lead to flaky skin. It can also lead to the formation of a chalazion.
While acute blepharitis is the term given to various infections and other conditions as already described above, chronic blepharitis is not so well understood. It is also very difficult to cure, although treatments are available that can at least help to alleviate the patient from the symptoms it causes.
