so i have a cold sore on my lip that is almost healed now. today i noticed that there feels like something in the corner of my right eye. i looked and there's like 3 little whitish dots in the corner of my eye. i'm worried i might be getting a cold sore in my eye :( like i don't think i made direct contact with touching my eyes after my cold sore. however my cold sore touched my blankie and i think the blankie might of hit my eye or something. im really worried and scared. do u think this might be a cold sore in my eye? how long should i leave it? if it gets worse then should i go to the doctor?

You don't get coldsores anywhere else but your lip do you...?

I have seen people that had cold sores in their eyes before. You could get some medicine for it, as I imagine it's fairly uncomfortable. I heard valtrex may become an OTC drug soon, but if you're in pain go the doctor.

I highly doubt it. It's not transferred that way, but you should go see a doctor anyway and get checked out to make sure. It could be any one of a number of things and we're not doctors on LW so we really can't tell.

maybe you should see a doc, the last thing you want is that stuff on your eyeball. it leaves a scar and you will lose vision.

You can get them on your nose and near your eyes. My sister got that when she was a toddler, because she didn't really know not to touch it.
