Take a glass of water in bowel( katora)& add a pinch of sodium bicarbonate ( mitta soda)& small piece of cotton,boil it & let it cool at bearable temperature ,wash eyelids with cotton, lids will be cleaned because white scally deposit is soluble in sodium bicarbonate, let lids dry, do it daily at least for a month then alternate day for 2-3 months

Hello...... Blepharitis is inflammation of the eyelid margin. It's common and treatable.Depending on the severity of blepharitis, you may have some or all of these symptoms, which may be intermittent or constant.Eyelid hygiene is very helpful to treat and control blepharitis, but only if performed properly.
