is it possible to get herpes under your eyelid?
Question:
Answers:
It is possible to have herpes under your eyelids though unlikely. A little late now if it is an outbreak but moving forward make sure you wash your hands after touching any areas of possible outbreak. When using a towel after a shower dont use the same towel to dry your body off as you use to dry your face. Or use the towel first to dry your face then do the rest of your body.
If you've had herpes outbreak recently, touched yourself and then rubbed your eyes you could have it on around your eyes. The best thing to do is to take a 5 day treatment of Valtrex to help ease the outbreak - just in case it is an outbreak.

Under youe eye or on your lower eyelid? It could also be a cyst.
It's probably a stye, but you never know. One way to get herpes in the eye is to moisten contacts with saliva.
my medical book says you can go blind from it,go to a doctor
Yes, it is possible. My son contacted herpes simplex from his father having a coldsore on his lip when he was only 2 years old. He thought as long as he didn't kiss his lips it would be okay. But it took three doctor visits to diagnose him with herpes simplex. The side of his face swelled up and his eye was swollen shut. All his eye lashes fell out.He looked like Rocky That was seven years ago. He has since only had one more outbreak in his eye but the doctor said if it is left untreated it can cause vision problems possibly blindness. He gave him a RX for drops, I can't remember the name but they smell like vinegar, and burn terribly.!!! He still gets them on his nose and lips, the doc said that the sun can actually bring them out, which I believe because that's when he seems to have a lot of outbreaks!! See an eye specialist!!
You may have a Chalazion which is unrelated to Herpes.
It is possible to get them anywhere where it is moist and warm and where the virus has been spread (eyes, nose, mouth, etc).
