So, for about a year now, my little girl—she was only three at the time—has been dealing with these crusty flakes on her eyelashes and constant itching. After a few months of trying various antibiotic drops and taking her to a private ophthalmologist, she got diagnosed with squamous blepharoconjunctivitis. She was put on Tobrex drops and ointment along with some Maxitrol ointment. Everything went smoothly from last June until January, but then things took a turn. I tried to handle it myself by repeating the same treatment, but about a month ago, the symptoms came roaring back. I took her to see the eye doctor again, and they just prescribed the same thing minus the Maxitrol. We finished up the treatment eight days ago, and sure enough, I woke up this morning to see those flakes starting to form all over again. Yeah, the doctor basically told me that this has officially become a chronic condition...
Before I go dragging her back to the clinic... has anyone else dealt with something similar with their kids? And more importantly, what actually worked? Honestly, I’m just feeling so frustrated with the whole cycle. I know I should probably find a different specialist through our local health center, but the wait times there are absolutely ridiculous—we're talking three to five months! I simply can't—and won't—wait that long while she's suffering, so I end up looking for a third opinion elsewhere instead.
Is anyone else stuck in this endless loop of annoyance? And hey, moderators, if this isn't quite the right spot for this discussion, please feel free to move it.

HEY THERE!

Listen, I went through something pretty similar—you know, after... well, I saw traces of blood on the toilet paper and let me tell you, I was absolutely terrified. No ointments, no creams, no suppositories—I hadn't tried anything yet. Since it happened following a gynecological surgery and some major dietary changes, it just kind of cleared up on its own after about 3 or 4 months. However, things were even worse after I had my baby, but luckily an old lady gave me a recipe that worked wonders for me. Seriously, I went out and bought a whole bunch of ointments and plugs first just to make things slightly more bearable, and then I moved on to this.
The recipe is actually super simple. Find some lard—you might already have some in your kitchen—and some dried calendula (you can find that at any local herbal shop). You basically just fry them together and pop it in the fridge. I think I only used it for about 5 days and it helped immensely.🙏
Another close family member—an older woman—was telling me she was having issues, specifically with a real hemorrhoid that had actually prolapsed, which is incredibly painful; she couldn't even sit down. I gave her some of that mixture (it had been sitting in my fridge for two years and I didn't want to toss it!) and when I checked in on her a couple of days ago, she said it’s fantastic—the pain is less, and it feels like the swelling is actually going down.

So, I really, truly recommend this because it actually works.👍
