concurrent belfatis

hi! i have a niece which is 4 years old. she has concurrent belfaratis or belfatis - i am not sure what is the right name. she doesnt respond to antibiotic and the doctor said that they have to operate. just to make my self clear- she has on her eyes some small balls and she has infection. it goes and come. since she is so young - i wonder if operation is really the best and only way to handle it and whether there are risks which involves in this operation. i don't have hebrew in my computer so i will appreciate it if you can e-mail me answer in english. thanks, miriam

Miriam Your message is very unclear It seems you are talking about CHRONIC BLEPHARITIS this ia chronic inflammation of the eyelids with dandruff like material (KASKASIM In that case I do not see what surgery is suggested. Dr. D. Gaton

hi again! what is the suggested treatment for the problem? it seems that the antibiotic treatment doesnt work i hope the meesage will be clear. thanks, miriam
