Herpes zoster (HZ) is an acute dermatomal infection associated with reactivation of varicella-zoster (VZV) and is characterized by unilateral pain and a vesicular or bullous eruption limited to a dermatome(s) innervated by a corresponding sensory ganglion. The major morbidity is postherpetic neuralgia (PHN).

Most physicians believe there is a temporary weakness in the body's ability to fight off disease. This allows the virus to start reproducing and move along nerve fibers toward the skin. The fact that the disease occurs more often in people older than age 50 (although children can get it, too) supports this since the immune response is believed to be weaker in older people. Trauma or possibly stress may also trigger a zoster attack.

Symptoms may include: skin hypersensitivity in the area where the herpes zoster appears, mild rash, which appears after five days and first looks like small, red spots that turn into blisters, blisters which turn yellow and dry, rash which usually goes away in one to two weeks, rash is usually localized to one side of the body. Leucorrhea has been associated with herpes zoster.
