no way to know. we don`t diagnose anyone through this forum, sorry!
be seen by a doctor, specially a dermatologist. odds are this is not herpes going on, pimples (folliculitis) happen very frequently in the buttock. you would expect blisters/vesicles in a herpetic sore, and a very itchy sore.
no reason to believe this is herpes, but be seen by a doctor.
It doesn't sound like Herpes. Herpes doesn't itch. It could be a rash or bacterial infection. Don't scratch and go see your doctor.
thanks!! i feel a lot better...i did a lot of research online about it and it doesnt seem like herpes to me either...but still checking to be safe!
if this has been there more than a week, certainly go and be seen and get it looked at. many things can be going on.
stop back and let us know how your appointment went :)
