What Causes Pus Filled Blisters On Top Of Left Buttocks?

Noticed a few small clusters of blisters on the top of my left butt cheek 5 days ago and I have been unable to see a doctor yet. They are painful when I sit. I keep an ointment on them under a gauze bandaid to reduce the risk of spreading anything if it happens to be HSV. I have always tested negative in the past for HSV and have never experienced this type of incident. The bubbles have not burst open yet. They appear to be filled with puss but it s hard for me to see. There is a cluster of 4 and about a centimeter away a cluster of 3 and then there is one blister by itself. Could this be HSV? Shingles? Boils?
