Suggest Treatment For Blisters Around The Eye
Question: I have a relatives that has blister around her left eye and some in her face and couldn't open her eye
Brief Answer:
Ophthalmic herpes zoster
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM,
I read carefully your query and saw the image you uploaded.
From the image it looks most probably like ophthalmic herpes zoster, which is a very serious condition which needs to be treated as soon as possible because it may lead to serious complications like loss of vision.
Your relative should see an ophthalmologist as soon as possible because the treatment need to get started the first 48 hours that the blisters start, and you will need a prescription for that medication.
Hope this is helpful
Let me know if you need any more clarification. Otherwise please close and rate the answer.
Take care,

May I ask if she need a medication for temp. And if she does can you please recommend a medication? Especially an eyedrop.
Brief Answer:
Needs medication to take from the mouth
Detailed Answer:
Hello again dear,
She can use any medication for fever, like Ibuprofen 400mg every 6 hours, if she has fever.
Most important thought is that she needs to take a treatment for the virus that is causing the blisters, because as I explained above it can be a very dangerous infection. Acyclovir 800 mg, 4-5 times/day is the medication she needs to take, but she needs to do a consultation to your doctor nearby, to take a prescription for it.
No eye drop would be helpful enough, She needs medication from the mouth.
The treatment needs to be started as soon as possible.
Take care,
