Core Tip

Core Tip: Unlike common facial herpes, this case introduces a new pan-facial herpes symptom: Swollen redness on the patient’s entire face without herpetic vesicles. The patient had experienced recurrent infections with herpes simplex and herpes zoster viruses since the age of 7 years. On the visit day, the patient complained of headache and neuralgia; hence, a prompt antiviral prescription was advised based on the patient’s pathological history and current condition.
