How To Get Rid Of Rashes On The Outer Side Of Left Eye?
Hi I am on holiday in Turkey. Been here two days and my boyfriend has a rash come up on the outer side of his left eye. It began yesterday morning as a small cluster but today has grown with blisters. The rash area is itchy but there is no other pain. He had the rash many years ago and a day or two before we came away he had a cold. Can you advise what we could use or do to rid of this?

Hello
It seems from the history that your boy friend is having rash along outer side of the eye following cold. Since he had similar rash and it has come back again this can be herpes infection.
This requires treatment by the use of antiviral drugs.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
