The eruption may involve more than one dermatome but rarely crosses the midline.
A prodrome of intense pain with pruritus, tingling, tenderness and hyperaesthesia occurs, followed by a painful eruption of grouped vesicles on an erythematous base within a sensory dermatome.
Generally the lesions of zoster are unilateral and located at the site most severely affected by varicella, most commonly either the facial or the mid-thoracic to upper lumbar dermatomes.
Referred pain usually involves a specific, referred location so is not associated with a dermatome.
The somites give rise to the vertebral column (sclerotome), associated muscles (myotome), and overlying dermis (dermatome).
Because the sclerotome differentiates before the dermatome and the myotome, the term "dermomyotome" refers to the combined dermatome and myotome before they too separate out.
Each somite has 3 divisions, sclerotome (which forms vertebrae), dermatome (which forms skin), and myotome (which forms muscle).
Somites give rise to the myotome (muscle tissue), sclerotome (cartilage and bone), and dermatome (subcutaneous tissue of the skin).
The onion skin distribution is entirely different from the dermatome distribution of the peripheral branches of the fifth nerve.
Dermatomes are similar; however, a dermatome only specifies the area served by a spinal nerve.
It is formed when a dermamyotome (the remaining part of the somite left when the sclerotome migrates), splits to form the dermatome and the myotome.
This overlap of innervation is poorly handled by the standard dermatome map which physicians rely on to trace pain back to its source.
Pain typically occurs in the distribution of a dermatome and goes below the knee to the foot.
