Herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections often manifest as acute self‐limiting eruptions of grouped vesicles, which have a tendency to recur. Common manifestations include that of gingivostomatitis, vulvovaginitis, recurrent erythema multiforme, herpetic whitlow, and eczema herpeticum. We report a case of HSV‐1 presenting as a symmetrical intracorneal blistering eruption involving the lower limbs in a patient with no previous history of herpes simplex infection.
