Abstract
The most common and cumbersome complication of herpes zoster is postherpetic neuralgia, which typically presents as neuropathic pain. However, the painful symptoms of the postherpetic period might be associated with other causes, such as skin lesions of the herpes zoster. We report a case of a hypertrophic scar that developed in the lesion of an acute herpes zoster patient and was accompanied by pain.
