“…The incidence of nasal herpes is not very common worldwide. Cutaneous blister-like lesions over the nose can be caused by infective conditions like erysipelas, impetigo, vestibulitis caused by staphylococcal infection, chicken pox, herpes zoster, herpes simplex, hand, foot, and mouth disease, syphilis, and mycoplasma infection [ 6 ], and also autoimmune causes like dermatitis herpetiformis or acute allergic contact dermatitis [ 7 ]. In the present case, the patient presented with a vesicular blister-like lesion over the tip of her nose, so other more common differentials like vestibulitis were initially considered.…”

Facial herpes is a form of herpes simplex type I infection and presents with characteristic vesicular lesion around the perioral region. Nasal herpes, a form of facial herpes is a rare presentation with only a few cases reported in the literature. Neuralgic pain in herpes simplex is usually experienced at the site of the lesion during or before the eruptive stage. Here, we are reporting a case where the patient with a herpes simplex lesion over the tip of her nose presented with pain over the infraorbital region, which is a region supplied by the infraorbital nerve, a branch of the maxillary division of the trigeminal nerve. Initially confused as a bacterial infection due to its unusual presentation and rarity of the condition, the patient was given anti-bacterial therapy, but on showing no relief in symptoms, the patient was treated with appropriate antiviral drugs, following which complete remission of the lesion was observed. The case highlights a rare site for a common condition and atypical presentation.
