Have Blister On Buttocks, Recurring. What Could This Be?
I have a blister - like lesion at the top of my buttocks , almost in between my buttocks, I always get a bump in the same place ever so often, but it has never been in a cluster of blisters before. I thought maybe because I scratched it so much. What could this possibly be and why am I getting it. And is there any way to treat it?

Hi
It could be due to infection of hair follicle.
The peri anal area should be clean.Bacteria will move from this area and cause infection on the buttocks.
I prefer to send the fluid from it for culture and sensitivity.
I prescribe Antibiotic Clindamycin till the report comes, to my patients with similar complaints.
Wish you good health
Regards
