• Reactive perforating collagenosis
• Herpes zoster
• Wolf's isotopic response
• Diabetes mellitus
• Renal insufficiency

Reactive perforating collagenosis is a disease whose pathogenesis is still not fully understood. Histological findings are degenerated collagen bundles which are arranged in vertical direction penetrating the epidermis into a dome-shaped crater. Usually diabetes mellitus and renal failure can be found among patients with reactive perforating collagenosis. To date, there have been five cases described where the eruption of reactive perforating collagenosis followed herpes zoster infection. This could be a form of Wolf's isotopic response, a term that is used for dermatoses which arise after the healing of a preexisting dermatosis. We report the sixth case of a herpes zoster-associated reactive perforating collagenosis and discuss the current literature.
