A 41‐year‐old Japanese man with a 11‐year history of Hailey‐Hailey's disease on his groin developed generalized herpes simplex on his groin, throat, lips and extremities which, to our knowledge, has not been previously described. Histological examinations using light and electron microscopes showed herpes virus infection of the skin. Virus culture and serological methods revealed this case to be a primary infection of type 1 herpes simplex virus.
