    TLDR Herpes zoster can occur with COVID-19 even in healthy individuals.
    The document reported a case of herpes zoster occurring almost simultaneously with COVID-19 in a non-immunosuppressed patient. Since the emergence of COVID-19, various clinical manifestations have been observed, affecting nearly all organs and systems, including the skin. Herpes zoster was noted as one of the skin-related processes associated with COVID-19, with cases showing varied intensity and severity. This particular case highlighted the coexistence of both conditions in a patient without immunosuppression.
