Rosacea and Blepharitis
Posted: Thu Apr 13, 2017 9:13 am
Hello, I have been diagnosed with Rosacea for many years and the past 2 year I have been dealing with persisent cysts around my left eye lid.
Once the GP realised I had a mild case of Rosacea she declared that there was nothing that could be done for me and that this was due to the Rosacea and I had to manage the cysts as best I could.
To say that they are unsightly at their worse would be an understatement and sometimes I find it hard to leave the house because of them.
My question is, why does a skin condition that is so mild across the bridge or my nose that is controlled by a metronidazole gel, affect my eye and is the GP correct that there is nothing that can be done to prevent the blepharitis.
Thank you for your time.
