What Causes Itchy Bumps And Pus Filled Blisters On Buttocks When Stressed?

When under stress or emotional upset, I ve started getting dime to quarter sized bumps on my buttocks. It starts out, before the bump forms, as an incredible itch, which, if scratched, burns and is painful. If left alone, the itchy area then develops small clustered blisters that appear to contain pus. These blisters eventually break, and the area heals and goes away. My husband says after the areas heal, they appear to be bruised. I ve been treating the areas with Bacitracin when the itch develops, and sometimes the blisters will wither and heal without breaking. If the blisters break, they appear to seep/drain for about a week. What is this?

Hi,

You have symptoms of itchy bumps and pus-filled blisters on buttocks when stressed. Need not to worry.

I would suggest you apply cold compresses to the blisters and avoid getting these rubbed with clothes as it will cause friction and can lead to exaggeration of symptoms.

You should take Benadryl twice a day. You should take anti-inflammatory and prevent it from sun exposure.

If the condition doesn't get well then consult a dermatologist for proper examination.

The doctor may order a blood test, skin allergy test or physical examination.

The doctor may prescribe antibiotics like clindamycin, immunosuppression and vitamin supplement for quick healing.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
