description We report a case of a 26-year-old previously healthy male who presented with peripheral facial nerve palsy and painful vesicular eruptions over an erythematous base on pinna and external auditory canal. A diagnosis of Ramsay Hunt syndrome was made. Patient improved with prednisolone, acyclovir, and physiotherapy.
