The herpes virus causes a variation of common infections.  Infections commonly associated with the herpes virus are the oral and genital strains, or Herpes Simplex Type 1 and Herpes Simplex Type 2 respectively.  Another common infection caused by member of the herpes virus is Shingles, also know as Herpes Zoster.  Additionally Chicken Pox, also known as Varicella, is also a herpes family member.

Herpes Zoster infects a specific nerve, and hibernates in that nerve's root after the initial infection.  The initial infection is a painful blistering rash that follows what is referred to as a dermatome. This dermatome is an area on the skin that is supplied by one nerve branch. Herpes Zoster, aka- Shingles is very painful and in some instances can cause a syndrome called post herpetic neuralgia. This is a phantom pain syndrome in an area where the initial infection is resolved, but the pain continues as if the infection hadn't cleared up.
