What Do Blisters On The Thighs And Buttocks Indicate?

I have a condition called hidradenitis suppurativa, sorry I probably butchered the spelling. I have actually gotten it under control as of lately, but started breaking out with blisters slowly over the last 4 days it started on my right thigh and then onto my butt and then crossed to the left cheek as well. Someone told me it could be shingles.....what to do or how to know?

Hi,

Shingles is a different entity.

Consult a dermatologist and get evaluated. In severe cases, you may be benefitted from the steroid injection.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
