Swollen left upper eye lid

[Bigeyelidlady]

I woke up two days ago with my left upper eye lid swollen, an itchy left ear and some sort of rash below my ear.  Two days later, I continue to have the swollen upper eye lid (one side only) and the rash feels like it is spreading to my chin and to my other cheek and under-ear area.  Can you suggest anything?

It could still be herpes zoster which is often very difficult to diagnose and has many different appearances. Suggest you see your personal MD soon.

I have something similar - been having swollen eyelids and watery sacs under eyes and now a bumpy (not defined like shingles) rash from the back of my left ear down my neck about halfway.  The swollen eyes seemed like sinus issues as i just had a sinus infection and did a z-pack two weeks ago (although I have continued to have swelling), but the rash is bothersome and kind of mysterious.
