Single blister on buttock
by Wilby87, Jul 13, 2008 04:34AM
Hi, i have a single blister/pimple on my buttock which is about 1 cm size. So initially i was worried that it might be herpes, i always practicsed safe sex. I went to my GP, and he told me that it is some terms i forgotten, he told me it is something like a pimple on the buttock. He gave me anti biotics and cream for it. After like 4 days of application, it dried, and form something like yellow crust with some black crust inside/in the middle.
I heard herpes occurs in cluster of blister and they are not that big to the extent of like 1 cm size. Could it be herpes?
I went swimming 2 days before i got the blister. could it be the water that causes it?

It could be herpes but since the medical practioner who looked at it didn't feel it was - it's probably a good indicator that it really isn't herpes.
If you really need peace of mind - get a type specific herpes igg blood test now and then repeat it in a few months.
