Would value a second opinion, even long distance. The beginning of Sept. had what appeared to be two bug bites on buttocks, that joined together and formed many vesicles. Acyclovir was begun the 2nd day(1600 to 1200 mg per day) for 12 days. The vesicles never fully developed and over 3 weeks the lesion subsided. No test was done. Two days ago a bug bite appeared on the lower abdomen, above pubic area. It is red and has one blister in the center and is sore. Perhaps more vesicles will develop. . No acyclovir this time. This is all so strange, because the person is very concerned about anything that happens to the body and he has never mentioned any type of lesions in the genitals. Due to an accident he has not had sexual relations for two years. He is deep into natural remedies, essential oil, cayenne, vitamins,bee pollen, etc. . He uses medical marijuna. We have had centipedes and spiders in the house, and he is convinced this is a bite . I'm not so sure. If it were herpes, why would there be another recurrance within a month of the first, especially after taking the acyclovir.? Does herpes ever produce lesions on the abdomen? I have only heard of it on the genitals. Should he take acyclovir again so soon?. He stopped it last Monday.
What is your opinion?. Is there a possibility it could be anything else. He's not been sick, no chills, pains or swollen glands. It is only the "bump" that is sore. Thank you for your opinion.
