Ocular rosacea and using Skinoren intermittently?
Posted: Mon Jan 15, 2018 1:01 pm
I saw an ophthalmologist last week who diagnosed Blepharitis which has been caused by my Rosacea - so, Ocular Rosacea, I presume.
The leaflet he has given me about lid hygiene talks about using mild baby shampoo, but my optician has already said to me that this is not recommended any more. After using a heated eye mask, I'm massaging my eye lids and then using a baby wipe to clear away any secretions. Is this OK, or is there anything else which would be more effective?
Also, I use Skinoren on my face only when I get a flare-up of papules. Would I be better using a thin layer of Skinoren daily, rather than intermittently? By doing this, would this also help to keep my eye problems under control?
