Herpes zoster (HZ) duplex symmetricus is an extremely rare variant of multidermatomal HZ where there is the involvement of bilaterally symmetrical dermatomes. This generally occurs in immuno-compromised individuals and is unusual in immunocompetent host. When occurring over the face, it can be associated with Ramsay Hunt syndrome. Bilateral symmetrical lesions present a unique diagnostic dilemma owing to morphological similarities with Eczema Herpeticum and rarely enteroviral infections. In such cases, correct interpretation of serological tests helps in the diagnosis of the condition. Here, we present the case of HZ duplex symmetricus occurring in an immune-competent individual over bilateral V1 3 and C4 dermatome (left) along with facial palsy.
