"Blepharogel 1" is usually prescribed to eliminate inflammation, redness and even peeling of the eyelids. Especially it helps to eliminate redness, swelling, itching, or unpleasant pain during blepharitis and demodicosis. Simply put, blepharitis is a disease of the eyelids. As a rule, it is accompanied by redness, frequent itching and swelling in the eyelids.
Demodecosis is also a rather specific eye disease, accompanied by redness, itching, peeling of the skin, swelling and pain symptoms. The most obvious manifestation of demodicosis is considered to be a phenomenon that is popularly called "barley". In both cases, problems with the eyelids arise due to the active influence of pathogens.
