Are blister like bumps on the buttocks a viral infection?
Patient: Hi, my sisters grandson has a cluster of bumps in straight line that looks like blisters on his buttocks, one doctor thought it was shingles another one said it was a virus, neither dr. Seemed concerned. My concern is that they did try very hard to find out what it was, if it s a virus is he contagious, he has siblings and he s in school. Doctor: Hi, Is he recovering with the treatment. Shingles is a viral disese (Varicella Zoster) and it not not infective. It occurs due previous infection of nerves(latent).There is no point to worry about.
