Description
Herpes zoster lesions are well known to heal with abnormal scar formation. Collagen deposition occurs as a result of abnormal immunological and inflammatory response within the tissue. Whereas, connective tissue nevi are formed by structural alteration or increase in collagen or elastin fibers, we report a case of a young male whose herpes zoster lesions healed with formation of a collagen nevus.
