Question : I occasionally get blisters in my butt crack. There is sometimes itching and soreness with the outbreak. I have never had genital herpes, have been a widow for many years and have had no sexual contacts since the death of my spouse. The lesions started around 5 years ago and I have found that if I am careful how I wash my panties, I can keep it from occurring for several weeks at a time. The blisters will bleed when I break them.

Hello man, thanks for trusting health care magic.
Can you please upload a picture of the blisters so that I can advise you better.
Such problems usually occur in diabetic patients or in patients who wear tight clothes but live in damp environment.
Waiting for the pictures.

I have no pictures and have no one who can take a picture. And I am not a "man".

Brief Answer:
Simple precautions advised

Detailed Answer:
Yes Mam, I wrote man by typing mistake.
In my opinion you have excessive sweating problem which is causing this problem.
You need to apply talcum powder daily and wear cotton based underwear.
Also use perineal wash liquid daily after bath and see the response.
Frankly it is very difficult to comment without visual inspection so in case these simple measures don't help then visit a dermatologist for examination.
