A member asked:
I've got a rash on my forehead between my eyes and on my nose. is that a typical symptom of herpes simplex?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The most common condition affecting these areas in the way you describe is rosacea. You could also have shingles (zoster) . Check with your ophthalmologist to rule out or treat these conditions. H simplex usually causes a very localized wet blistery lesion on the skin rather than a rash.
