Crusting Sores
The rash that's commonly associated with Ramsay Hunt syndrome comprises crops of blisters in the ear canal, cartilage and soft tissue. As well as blisters, the rash can also be a combination of lesions called papules and macules.
When the rash spreads and the blisters rupture, they can crust over and develop huge lesions. Individuals with crusting sores should consult a healthcare provider in order to prevent infection. The sores will typically appear on one side of the face and neck.4‘Ramsay Hunt Syndrome.’ Ramsay Hunt Syndrome | DermNet NZ, dermnetnz.org/topics/ramsay-hunt-syndrome/
