Healing cold sores (herpes zoster)

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for posting your query on HCM.

I appreciate your concern for the skin problem on your buttock and scrotum.
After having gone through your history and the pictures uploaded I am of the opinion that you had herpes zoster (viral) infection which is now in healing stage.

If it hurts or itches use calamine lotion and NSAID pain killlers.

Hope this suggestion could be of help to you.
Best regards.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
