The Wolf isotopic response is defined as a condition in which a second dermatosis appears in the area of an initial, unrelated and often resolved skin disorder. There are multiple primary and secondary dermatoses that can be part of it, with herpes zoster being the main trigger. We present the case of a young patient, undergoing postpartum period, who presented multiple open comedones on a dermatome previously affected by herpes zoster.
