I'm really concerned about something that's been happening since I had herpes zoster shingles a couple of weeks ago. I had rashes on my neck and shoulders, all on the left side, but they've mostly cleared up now. However, this morning I noticed I can only twitch my left eye. I came across something online about herpes zoster ophthalmicus, and I'm worried this could be a late effect of the shingles. What should I do about this?

View allI'm dealing with a chalazion on my lower eyelid that's been bothering me for a couple of months. I've been doing hot water compresses, but now there's a small tissue formed with some discharge, which my doctor says is because the chalazion ruptured. I'm wondering, is surgery the only option to treat it, or are there other effective treatments I can try?
While surgery is often considered for a ruptured chalazion with a persistent tissue and discharge, it's not the only remedy, as your doctor may recommend other treatments, such as antibiotic ointments or oral antibiotics to clear up the discharge and prevent infection, steroid injections to reduce inflammation, or continued warm compresses to encourage the tissue to resolve on its own,

I've been washing my eyes with tap water every few hours lately, but they started burning every time I did it. I just discovered that the Dettol Liquid Handwash I use might not rinse off completely and could be the reason for the burning and irritation in my eyes. I skipped washing my eyes today and haven't experienced any symptoms. Could this soap residue be causing problems for my eyes in the long run?

I've been dealing with a stye in my eyes since I was 16, and even though I've tried medicines and eye drops, it just keeps coming back for a whole year. Lately, I've noticed that my eyelid is starting to slightly cover my pupil, but my vision hasnt been affected. At first, we thought it was no big deal since it was so minor, but now Im feeling really self-conscious about it, especially during video calls and in photos. It looks like one eye is way different from the other. Ive attached a picture showing the issue with my right eye. Could you tell me how this might be fixed?
yes,visit your foe appropriate management
