herpes is a viral infection and yes you can get it on your eyebrow area. if you have the zoster type it may spread from the eyebrow area along a nerve pathway. there are many things that can mimic a herpetic infection such as a blistering form of impetigo. one way to be sure is to have that lesion cultured and sent to the lab. there are special herpes cultures and general wound cultures so you should do both.
is it possible to get herpes simplex type 1 on the eyebrow? . i have what i believe to be herpes simplex type 1 on my eyebrow. it looks exactly like a cold sore; i've had plenty of cold sores on my lips but i did not know if it was possible to have one on my eyebrow. it is located on an old eyebrow piercing and itchs and hurts pretty bad. i do work at an optometrist's office and the doctor said it looks like a soft tissue infection. i'm just wondering if it is herpes or if the doctor is right about it just being an infection.
