Facial Pain Followed By Scars From Forehead To Nose, Diagnosed To Be Herpes. Advised Neurologist Consultation In Case Of Pain. Opinion?
Hello Sir/Maa m, My mother got pain over face and gradually a marks starts appear from forehead to nose . Then we move for a doctor checkup where they said that it is harpies. Since its swallowing is near by right eye so her eye is not opening. In addition to this she is feeling pain in right part of head. Doctors had given medicine ans saying it will continue to around 6 months. After that if pain continues in head the they will refer to any neurologist . Just wanted to know that we should follow in this way or must took another opinion. Thanks in advance for your reply.
Your mother has symptoms suggestive of herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO). The lesions will sibside gradually over the next 7-10 days. However the pain can vary from person to person. It occurs due to post herpetic neuralgia (PHN). The suggestion given by your doctor is correct.
Regards
Dr.Anupama
