Indian J Dermatol. 2012 Mar;57(2):144-5. doi: 10.4103/0019-5154.94290.

Abstract

We describe recurrent acute right-sided facial urticaria associated with herpes labialis infection in a middle-aged female patient. Antiviral medications and antihistamines not only successfully cleared the herpes infection and urticaria but also prevented further recurrences.
