Ocular hsv 2?

Ocular hsv 2?

I have had genital hsv 2 for 3 yrs with few outbreaks.  I recently had something occur on my lip, but was unsure if it was a cold sore.  It was a bump, and then a little crack, not even visible to others.  I had some other weird symptoms though like tingling nose, and my tongue became white and I generally did not feel good.  Anyways, it went away quickly.  It was gone completely when I went to get a facial to relax, which I would have never done if I knew the lady was going to wipe my lip with a damp towel and then wipe my eyes.  Anyhow, I got another blood test, (I waited 2 months) and I still do not have HSV 1.  So I think I must have spread it to myself.  Unless you have any suggestions what else it could be.  But my real question is what are the chances I spread it to my eyes?  I have been on suppressives ever since the lip thing.  I just found out today the blood test result which makes me feel a little better because even if it is herpes, it was not an initial outbreak. BUT, my eyes have been feeling funny.  Maybe its in my head, I have been extremely upset and worried.  I have also been sneezing a lot though too so it could be allergies.  I'm going to go off the meds and see what happens.

Dear anxious8679,

I would recommend that you seek the care of an eyeMD to determine whether the eyes may show a microscopic issue.
