eyelash regrowth

lately I have been using mascara obssesively everyday and my eyelashes used to be very long and thick, but now they are shorter and ALOT have fallen out. I'm afraid they won't grow back even if I stop using mascara. Will they grow back? Is there anyway to make them grow back or have I damaged the folicles too much? Please please help me!

That sounds kind of what happens but my eyes are not inflammed or red. Does blepharitis always shoe these signs?

Hi,
You could have developed a condition called blepharitis, in which the eye -lid margin gets infected./inflamed. Blepharitis usually causes redness of the eyes and itching and irritation of the eyelids in both eyes and is associated with fall of eye-lashes.
Apply a warm wet compress to the lids - such as a washcloth with hot water - for about 2 minutes.Gently and repeatedly rub along the lid margins while eyes are closed. spread small amount of prescription antibiotic ophthalmic ointment with finger tip along lid fissure while eyes closed.
Do thios as part of your bed-time routine for a week to 10 days.
Check the expiry date on the cosmetic product and ensure the applicator brushes are always clean before using.
Eye-lashes will grow back if inflammation subsides.
