Mostly, herpes zoster affects adults and therefore childhood presentation can represent a diagnostic challenge. Childhood herpes zoster, when it occurs, can also be associated with peripheral nerve complications, as illustrated by this case. A 3-year-old child who had herpes zoster developed a nasolabial scar resulting in a shallow non-healing ulcer from being repeatedly picked. Healing was only achieved after nocturnal sedation, with chloral hydrate.
带状疱疹大多影响成年人，因此儿童出现该病症可能带来诊断挑战。儿童带状疱疹一旦发生，也可能伴有周围神经并发症，本病例即说明了这一点。一名患带状疱疹的3岁儿童出现了鼻唇沟瘢痕，由于反复搔抓导致形成了一个浅表的不愈合溃疡。仅在夜间使用水合氯醛镇静后才实现愈合。
