Herpes of the Eyes-Various Pics
Herpes simplex is a very common virus affecting the skin, mucous membranes, nervous system, and the eye. There are two types of herpes simplex. Type I causes cold sores or fever blisters and may involve the eye. Type II is sexually transmitted and rarely causes ocular problems. Nearly everyone is exposed to the virus during childhood. Herpes simplex is transmitted through bodily fluids, and children are often infected by the saliva of an adult. The initial infection is usually mild, causing only a sore throat or mouth. After exposure, herpes simplex usually lies dormant in the nerve that supplies the eye and skin. Later on, the virus may be reactivated by stress, heat, running a fever, sunlight, hormonal changes, trauma, or certain medications. It is more likely to recur in people who have diseases that suppress their immune system. In some cases, the recurrence is triggered repeatedly and becomes a chronic problem.  ·  · |

Re: Herpes of the Eyes-Various Pics
o cmon people... the OP clearly states that this is most likely NOT caused by an STD, but more like someone touched their cold-sore and then touched their eye. a coworker of mine one time did exactly that, but the herpes infected her actual eyeball, not just the skin around the eye.  ^^It looked like that  ^^what can happen with herpes eye infections. |
