In coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients, various dermatological conditions have been observed. Varicella zoster virus (VZV) and herpes simplex virus must be ruled out before considering vesicular exanthems linked to COVID-19. The immunological status of the host has an impact on the natural history of herpes zoster (HZ). Age is a major risk factor for most of the cases of HZ. Reactivation of VZV can be triggered by iatrogenic immunosuppression or disease-related immunocompromised state or age-related immunosenescence. Rarely, dermatological symptoms have been reported in recovered COVID-19 patients. We hereby present a rare case of HZ in a recovered patient from symptomatic reinfection of COVID-19.
