admin answers:
Herpes zoster is the virus that causes shingles. You want to know if you have it in your eyes.. Unless some one with a cold sore kissed you on or around your eyes then you probably don’t have it. This type of herpes is very rare to have.
You could have some allergies or some thing could have scratched your corneas or it could be pink eye. If you really want to know then see your doctor or optometrist.
James asks…
What is the difference between shingles (herpes zoster virsus caused by chicken pox) and herpes?
My 18 year old son was recently told that he has herpes although he has never been sexually active. He has a rash on his upper leg that circles his entire upper leg.
admin answers:
He has shingles, which is herpes simplex and it is not caught from one person to another. However, you do need to stay away from anyone who has not had chicken pox or the shot. Shingles is caused from being stressed out and very upset to the point that a nerve comes to the surface and literally burns out which causes the red rash. It is very painful and it circles the area where the nerve goes and then ends. He can get it again if he is subject to being nervous or upset. I have had shingles so many times I now have permanent symptoms in my face, which is numbness and tingling. The sexual herpes is a different type altogether and is caught from one to another and cannot be cured. There are medications for shingles, but they do not do too much for the problem. You just have to wait it out. The symptoms usually last up to four weeks.
Helen asks…
after how many days after getting infected by virus of herpes zoster or chicken pox a man fall ill ?
i want to know that after getting a virus injected in your body or getting contaminated, how many days can pass without appearing disease symptoms ? Is it true that once after falling ill by chicken pox , it does not repeat whole life ?
admin answers:
No that is not exactly true. Once you have herpes you can either experience out breaks through out your whole life, or you may only get one out break then your immune system can force the virus into dormancy. There is nothing to that will control when or who will get out breaks, unless you use suppressive therapies.
Herpes can show up as little as over night or it can take months even years to build antibodies and show symptoms.
