Suggest Remedy To Get Rid Of Herpes On Eyeball
My son (21 years old) just got another outbreak of herpes on his eyeball. It has always been treated with acyclivyr when he gets an outbreak. Is there anything else that can help him avoid outbreaks or at least make them go away quicker so he can suffer less?

Hi i did review your concern,
herpes of eyeball needs special ophthalmologic care for the fear of loosing vision. the treatment required is valacycliovir eye drops/orally but it needs to be taken under special doctor guidance. Also please DO NOT used steroid eye drops on your own in this case. It may cause permanent eye damage. It should be used only under doctors guidance.
i hope this helps
wish you all the best
