What Causes A Itchy Sore On The Buttock And Groin?

I HAVE A REOCURRING SOAR* ON MY UPPER RIGHT BUTTOCK ABOUT YWO INCHES AWAY FROM THE TOP OF MY TAILBONE. It SEEMS TO HAPPEN EVERY TWO MONTHES OR SO AND EEFECTS MY RIGHT LYMPHNODE IN MY GROIN AREA. It IS really soar in my lymphnode and the soar itches at first and I think oh I just got bitten by a flea. But this soar has a cycle. It is itschy at first then it is itchy and a little tender and it looks like a few bumps or blisters maybe I don t know but it lasts for about two weeks and goes away. Oh and it is always in the same spot every time.

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi, according to your description, you suffer RECURRENT HERPES SIMPLEX. Herpes is an infection caused by an intracellular virus. Once the infection occurs, the virus remains inactive inside the cell nucleus, and can be activated from time to time under certain stress conditions and then you have those pruritic blisters that always appear in the same place. A doctor can give you a treatment so that episodes of recurrence are not as frequent.
