Eyelid rim inflammation (blepharitis) in the baby

Blepharitis or eyelid inflammation is the inflammation of the eyelid at the edge of the upper or lower eyelashes. The eyelids of babies with blepharitis are reddened, scaly and irritated. If a secondary infection develops, the eyelashes may fall out. The eyelid itches or burns and the eyes may water profusely.
