What Causes Red Blisters On The Buttocks?

I woke up one night and my pj s top was wet. On examination it appears to be a blister that broke. It is round and the size of a nickel with fanning outward of red around the blister. Urgent Care did not know what it was but gave me prescription for Keflex capsules & Silvadene cream a week ago. It is not any better.

Hi there....How long did you take the keflex pills dear... one must complete the prescribed course of antibiotic to get the desired results...
If the blister persists, go to your General practitioner, and with asterile swab get a sample of the blister pus onto it. Send it for culture and sensitivity and based on this report, your GP, will tell what drug is best effective in this situation.It is better to take the right drug than any random drug by trial and error.
I hope this answers your question.
Take care.
