    What Is Blepharitis?
    Escrito por Kierstan Boyd
    Revisado por Elena M Jimenez MD
    Feb. 21, 2019

    La blefaritis se produce cuando tiene bacterias y secreciones aceitosas en la base de las pestañas. Sus párpados se enrojecen, se hinchan, arden, o los tres. La blefaritis es muy común, especialmente en personas con piel grasosa, caspa u ojos secos.

    ¿Qué causa la blefaritis?

    Todos tenemos algunas bacterias en la piel. Sin embargo, algunas personas tienen más bacterias en la base de las pestañas que otras. Esto puede hacer que se formen láminas parecidas a la caspa. Además, algunas personas tienen problemas con las glándulas de aceite de los párpados, lo que causa blefaritis.
