A member asked:

Lower eyelid swelling kinda sore could it be herpes i don't have any fever blister but have in past close to corner panic thinking herpes ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Likely a stye: By far the most common lesion in your age group is an early stye. You can treat this with generous application of very warm wash cloths (not hot). Herpes would be in one place, with blistering on the skin.
