A member asked:
Should i see a doc right away if suspect shingles rash next to eye? it's very itchy .starting to see a bump
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It may be a higher risk if it was on the nose, but herpes in and around the eye may put you at risk of herpes in the eye itself. Untreated, it can cause significant damage. There are antiviral drops to help limit damage, however.
