Eye redness
by me3536, Nov 30, 2007 03:08PM
For the last 3 days i have noticed a slight rash in the area directly beneath my eye..It feels a little like sunburn and itches a little..It kind of makes me look as though i have been crying for 3 days straight. I had unprotected sex in the last 3 weeks and wanted to know if it could be related to an std,or if not, HOW DO I GET RID OF IT...

Doubt it is std related. Herpes simples virus can cause a skin rash with tiny blisters that hurt and burn - and you can get it around the eyes. That's about the only possible link I could think of. Chances are that is is unrelated but you just need to have eye doctor (ophthalmologist) check it out.
