Red Bumps persist butt and back. Pictures attached.
Posted , 17 users are following.
These itchy painful red bumps have not gone away in months. The old ones take about a month to turn into purple spots / scars. New ones constantly appear. They are painful and itchy. They do not crust or ooze. They look more like bug bites. As my history tells I have never had a swab only blood tests for HSV1 and 2. HSV is always around 16-17 IGG. HSV2 is always between 1.1 and 1.6 IGG. I took a Western Blot which showed antibodies for HSV1 but was negative to HSV2. I am still questioning the Western Blot due to not being off antivirals long enough. I plan to retake this test in a month or so.
Does anyone else get red bumps like these only on their butt and back? I have never had a tradional outbreak on my genitalia. I have been to planned parenthood and a dermatologist who do not think this is herpes. They claim it is folliculitis. Neither provider would do a swab! I have never had this in my life until 6 or so months ago, after I broke up with someone that had GH, so she thinks although she may have had GHSV1.

As I have come to find out, Rosacea is a pain in the butt. It seems everything affects it. Heat, cold, stress, it's a bummer to say the least. However, I have been pleasantly surprised with dermalmd rosacea serum. No miracle cure by any means, but has kept the redness in check and has reduced same. I'm pleased.

That doesn't appear to be herpes
