herpes zoster?
Sent to Health Experts July 12 04:24 PM

I think I might have herpes zoster, but it isnt in a big area i developed a small rash then it blistered. It doesnt hurt much, just itches. I looked at the pics online and even genital herpes, they dont look like what i have. The small blisters are on my left buttocks. I have been trying to figure out what i should do. I have had them for a week now and it looks red but doesnt hurt I think it might be drying. It is left of my tailbone. Should I go see a doctor

It looks like you have herpes zoster. See a doctor to get antiviral medications such as Zovirax , Valtrex etc. and the pain medications , itch medication.

It is herpes zoster because it is left to your tail bone.

It will go away on it's own.
