Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of blisters along with throbbing pain on buttocks. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query , but in your case the symptoms are probably due to meralgia paresthetica. There can be other reasons also like varicose vein , DVT and contact dermatitis .The cause of meralgia paresthetica is compression of the nerve that supplies sensation to the skin surface of your thigh. I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination. Doctor may order x-ray imaging , electromyography , nerve conduction study , nerve blockade with anesthesia. Doctor may prescribe corticosteroid injections , tricyclic antidepressants or gabapentin. For loose some weight and wear loose cloths. Mainatin hygiene with mild hot water for 15 min with epsom salt in it.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
