Blepharitis
Blepharitis is a big word that means swelling or inflammation of the part of your eyelid where your eyelashes grow from.
Okay, so let's imagine that your eyelid is like a little house for your eyelashes. Sometimes, bacteria or oil that are naturally found on your skin can get trapped in your little eyelash house and cause some trouble.
When this happens, your eyelid can get red, itchy, and swollen. It might also feel like there's something in your eye or your eyelashes might get crusty or greasy.
But don't worry, there are some things you can do to help your little eyelash house feel better. You can gently clean your eyelids with a warm washcloth or with special eyelid cleaning pads that your doctor might give you. You can also use eyedrops or ointment to help reduce swelling and make your little eyelash house feel better.
In some cases, your doctor might even give you special medicine to help get rid of the bacteria or oil that's causing the problem. Just remember, if you ever have any problems with your eyes, it's always a good idea to talk to your doctor so they can help you feel better.
