Herpes zoster on the tip or wings

Herpes zoster ophthalmicus can be combined with eyelid, conjunctivitis, keratitis, scleritis, uveitis, retinopathy (acute retinal necrosis), optic neuritis, and ophthalmoplegia. 60% of them can develop herpes zoster keratitis, which causes corneal scars and severely affects vision. There is a growing tendency these days and it is worth vigilant. Keratitis often occurs after the rash appears, especially herpes zoster on the tip of the nose or nose, which is a sign of invasion of the nasal ciliary nerve, and keratitis and iritis will follow.
