  2. What Is Blepharitis? Blepharitisis a common condition in which the edges of the eyelids become red and swollen. What Are The Types Of Blepharitis? There are three main types of blepharitis Anterior blepharitis - In this kind of blepharitis, the inflammation affects the skin around your eyelash. Anterior blepharitis can be caused by: Staphylococcus bacteria: This is commonly found on the skin of many people and does not cause any harm. Due to some unknown reasons, this bacteria may be triggered and it can cause swelling of the eyelids. Seborrhoeic dermatitis: It is a condition that causes the skin to become oily and scaly and sometimes irritates the eyelids by clogging the meibomian gland.

  3. Posterior blepharitis - In this kind of blepharitis, the inflammation affects the meibomian gland which is behind the surface of the eyelash. Posterior blepharitis is caused by problems with the meibomian gland. The gland gets blocked by debris, flakes, or inflammation. Sometimes, a blockage in the meibomian gland is associated with a skin condition which is called rosacea. If an excessive amount of oily substance is being produced then it may be due to seborrhoeic dermatitis. Mixed blepharitis – This is a combination of anterior blepharitis and posterior blepharitis Remember, blepharitis is not contagious.
