How To Treat Blister On Right Buttock?

Hi, I recently noticed a Blister on my right buttock. Originally it felt like an insect bite but, then when I checked the next morning it was a blister about the size 5p piece. It has actually burst now and looks as if it is healing but, there is a small red rash around this. Also, I have noticed blood when passing stools. I am unsure if these are related or just con-coinciding timing.

Dermatologist 's  Response
hi, 
looks like you have developed folliculitis ( pyoderma).
 
Folliculitis (also known as "Hot Tub Rash") is the inflammation of one or more hair follicles.
The condition may occur anywhere on the skin with the exception of the palms of the hands and soles of the feet.
They may appear as red dots firstly and then increase in size to become red , hot, tender pus filled lesions.
Avoid touching it too much.
Avoid using any kind of cold dreams or hair oils, as it might increase the lesion.
You can start using any topical antibiotic/antiseptic cream over the lesion and see if it persists even after using the cream for 2-3 days, then you need to consult a skin specialist as lesions are very painful and also they tend to increase in size very quickly.
Take some pain killers along for relieving the associated pain and discomfort.
 
Hope it helps
