Herpes on my face?!

[JessJunko]

Wondering if mouth-genital-face transmission could be the culprit behind a mild red dotted rash around my eye.  My husband performs oral sex and kisses my face...  It’s not like pimples at all, small red dots, hardly raised.  It’s the only thing I can think of actually and am wondering if anyone has ever used Vmagic on their face.  I seem to recall hearing about eye herpes - in particular related to giving birth...  I have had out of control genetical herpes for many many years which has finally been controlled with famvir and Vmagic.  I’ve never had a cold sore.  My husband has never had any outbreaks of any sort.  I actually had such a high level of viral stress on my body that I think it caused a very serious B12 deficiency last year which is what ultimately has lead to my recovery and new found control.  The face and skin thing is new and really disheartening.  Would appreciate any advice, recommendations or support ❤️

Hi @JessJunko! For what it's worth, it doesn't sound like herpes by your description since most herpes shows up as sores and not tiny bumps. And transmitting herpes happens with direct skin-to-skin contact with the infected area, so the chances of that kind of transmission happening from genital --> mouth --> face that you describe isn't likely. Have you checked with your doctor/dermatologist?

@mr_hopp I haven’t checked with a doc since it isn’t painful or anything - just annoying.  Thanks for your reassurance, hope you’re right!  Have you ever heard anything about herpes infections around the eyes??

Yes, ocular herpes is certainly a thing, but it tends to affect folks most before they’ve developed immunity (antibodies) or who have compromised immune systems.
