So i have a few bumps that look like pimples on my face, turns out they're shingles. I have little to no pain, really the only discomfort is from a gland thats now swollen by my ear. Doc is very concerned because my eye lid is swollen and there's one right in the corner of my eye by my nose. I have an appointment with the ophthalmologist tomorrow but I'm not sure what happens after this. I'm on Valtrex but my Dr. made it sound like it would be an ongoing thing to meet with the eye doctor. How will i know if my eye is in the clear? I can see fine for now...
