 | | Seborrheic blepharitis is associated with dandruff of the scalp and may be part of an overall skin disease (seborrhea) which also affects the chest, back, and behind the ears. | | | Once the acute phase of blepharitis is controlled, lid cleaning and the use of bland ointments may be sufficient to control the condition. | | | The eyelid margins are the areas most often affected by blepharitis. |
