Irritated eyelids

For a week or possibly longer I have irritated and itchy eyelids.  The skin is very tender and I feel a burning sensation most of the time.  I'm having a difficult time because I feel like scratching and sometimes I do and that is probably why the lid is so irritated.  Any help would be appreciated.

Use the search feature and read about "blepharitis". Schedule an appointment with an Eye MD. Find one at www.aao.org

Use warm compresses and artifical tears as first aid.
