What Does Pain Behind The Left Eye Suggest?
I ve had a slight pain behind my left eye for the past two days. This pain has now spread to the lower back of the ear and front of the ear. My scalp just to the side of the eye is also sensitive. I also have a mild rash between my eyes and on my left eye lid (new today). Can this be the beginning of Shingles?

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be developing Herpes Zoster.
Initially you get pain on one side typical of pain you have.
After 2-3 days eruptions develop producing blisters on the part.
Consult your doctor, you might require some anti-viral medicine like Herpikind for 4-5 days.
Meanwhile take some NSAID medicine like ibuprofen or Diclophenac medicine for pain.
Ok and take care.
