A member asked:

What are the symptoms of herpes simplex blepharitis? does herpes simplex blepharitis always hurt?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes it hurts: This will produce a blistering spot or spots closely together somewhere on the lid. These always are uncomfortable, with weeping serum and surrounding inflammation.
