I have dealt with this and it can be so uncomfortable and itchy. What worked safely for me was using a tiny drop of baby shampoo diluted with warm water on a cotton swab. Gently wipe your lash line with it every night. It is very gentle on the eyes and cleans the crusty flakes nicely.

Haan, eyelashes pe dandruff (blepharitis) really hurts and looks weird, na! Please do not put regular anti-dandruff shampoo near your eyes, it will burn like crazy. Actually, just cleaning the eyelids daily with warm water and a baby wash is the safest way to keep it clean at home.

I am so sorry you are going through this uncomfortable issue. Just applying a warm compress with a clean damp cloth over your closed eyes for 5 minutes daily can help soften and safely clear those flakes.

Eye health is closely connected to inflammation in the body. To help with lash flaking, try avoiding excess sugar and focus on eating carrots, spinach, and walnuts which are great for eye and skin health. Proper internal nutrition can help reduce these dry, flaky skin issues over time.

Please do not try any random home remedies, oils, or strong chemicals on your eyelashes. The eyes are extremely sensitive and you can cause serious damage or infections. Evelash dandruff is often blepharitis and must be evaluated and treated by an eye specialist or a dermatologist.
