Abstract
- Wolf's isotopic response describes the occurrence of a new, unrelated disease that appears at the same location as a previously healed disease. The pathogenesis of the lesions remains unclear, but several possibilities are considered: a viral origin, an immunologic origin, a vascular origin, and a neural origin. We, herein, present a case of a zosteriform lichen planus occurring at the site of herpes zoster after an episode of herpes zoster infection.
