sounds like something non-herpes related. conjunctivitis very common this time of the year from all the viruses going around.

Thanks grace I'm just worried about the unknown. I keep looking at it in the mirror looks like two small red spot in nose but the area just sort of burns. I am praying when I go to bed tonight it just disappears. Thanks again your support I'd appreciated

shingles is a reactivation of the chicken pox virus. It won't kill you.  

really, life is too short to worry needlessly like this!!

why would a rash on your nose cause you to die?

you can have your oral herpes infection cause lesions in the nose area but many other things can cause this too.

best to be seen monday and have a proper exam done.
