I Like Learning New Things
Most of the time, yes.
A couple of nights ago, my eyes were bothering me; not the actual eyes, but the lids. They were so itchy and burning, I felt like tearing them off. I happened to mention it to my daughter, who just happens to be the Google queen. She, naturally looked up itchy eyelids, and what she told me, while not surprising, wasn't really anything I wanted to think about. She told me all I never wanted to know about demodex folliculorum.
I won't go into detail here, in case you don't want to know what it is. Just be aware that it is something everyone has, men more than women and teens, more than anyone. It is a naturally occurring thing that isn't really a bad thing, but not nice to think about.
So I went to the pharmacist for some advice and he recommended rinsing my eyelids with warm water several times a day. Did that yesterday and had no problems last night. Pheww!!
Update
Since this was written a few months ago, I have learned more. Apparently it may be a cause of rosacea. I have had rosacea for many years.

This is the little guy who makes my eyes itchy.
And this is his, oh so cute little face......puleeeeszzzee.
So if your eyelids or lashes are itchy, maybe you have a demodex garden in your follicles.
Icky, I know.
