Have Sores Around Buttocks. Had The Same Cure 6 Months Ago. What Is It?
About 6 months ago i went to the er with sores around my buttocks area that were very uncomfortable. The dr ran herpes test and they came out negative. He gave me prescription as if it were herpes and indeed they went away. Now 3 days ago I went to an amusement park and got in water rides and now i have those sores again. What can it be? And what can i take?
