Abstract

Although less common compared to postherpetic neuralgia, post herpes itch (PHI) is a known sequela after herpetic infections. PHI usually disappears over weeks to months, requiring only symptomatic management. Rarely, PHI can result in significant debilitation. We report one case of extreme post herpetic itching and review the available literature.
