Herpes zoster is a viral infection affecting the nerves and the skin region that the nerve supplies.
When your unable to twitch your eye, frown your eyebrows, smile symmetrically your facial nerve is involved please get a review with the dermatologist treating you and a neurologist. This requires a consultation and examination and a proper course of treatment to revive the nerve and it's function.
