Classic physical findings of herpes zoster include painful grouped herpetiform vesicles on an erythematous base confined to the cutaneous surface innervated by a sensory nerve. Typically the condition affects a single dermatome, most commonly a thoracic dermatome, on one side of the body. Regional lymphadenopathy may be present.
