7. Vesicular skin rash
Skin rash is by far the most important manifestation of the disease. In some cases, the skin rash in herpes zoster is similar to herpes simplex. In others, it is entirely different and does not feature the same symptoms. A similar manifestation arises in patients with a vesicular skin rash. They develop vesicles limited to the reach area of the affected nerve. The skin rash develops in dermatomes, which can be evaluated and identified by a skilled physician. They are vesicles filled with a clear liquid which then cloud and burst. This shows up after the prodromal period and is associated with pain and hypersensitivity.
