Abstract

A 25 year old presented to the emergency department with a one day history of mildly painful and erythematous swelling of her right upper eyelid that she believed to be a stye. The clinical team noted vesicular lesions located exclusively on the upper eyelid, diagnosed zoster and initiated valacyclovir.
