Herpetic whitlow is a manifestation of herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2) that presents as single or grouped vesicles on the distal extremity after direct contact with an infectious source. Considered an occupational exposure, herpetic whitlow is substantially more common among health care workers and dentists than among the general population owing to frequent and unprotected exposure.1 We present a case of herpetic whitlow arising after self-inoculation of talimogene laherparepvec (T-VEC) by a needlestick injury. T-VEC is an attenuated HSV-1 oncolytic virus used in the treatment of local, recurrent, and unresectable melanoma.
