I have had sores or inflammation on eyelids or near them. I have used ointments and drops from local eye doctors to treat them and they usually got better in a few days. I don't know if they are related to Wegs or not. I also use drops daily for glaucoma and thought the sores might be a reaction to the drops when I miss my eye and get them onto my eyelid or skin near by.
Generally I view them as similar to the sores that sometimes show in my mouth or tongue. I think these sores like the skin problems are mainly due or a result of having a suppressed immune system. This puts us at risk for many extra issues. I had such problems before my diagnosis of Wegs but then my immune system was also already compromised due to having diabetes for many years but the frequency and types of problems increased after getting Wegs.
I take acyclovir daily to try reduce or prevent some of these and also use extra mouth rinse PRN which my dentist prescribed when I have sores in my mouth. Same as ointments and drops for sores or inflammation in or near the eyes.
