Two Red Patches On Buttock, Hot To Touch, Covered With Itchy, Watery Blisters On The Site Of Insect Bite. No Relief With Tinactin. Effective Remedy?
Two days ago my husband was sitting at the table eating dinner and all of the sudden said it felt like something bit him on his rear...and when i looked it appeared like a large mosquito bit, then yesterday he came home and now has two patches (one quarter size or larger and the other dime size) on his buttock, very red, hot to the touch and bothe covered in little watery clusters of blisters and he says they itch like crazy! He put some tinactin on during work with very little relief .

One of the thoughts that occur to me based on this information is a disease process called shingles. Shingles is a virus that is caused by the same virus as chickenpox. It occurs along a nerve where the chickenpox virus lurks.
So, first, has your husband had the chickenpox as a child?
Because the virus remains with us, hiding out in the nerves; an occurence could feel like a "bite". The areas could also itch. Blisters are common.
Few insect bites cause "blisters". In any case, a physician would be required to diagnose the problem.
Be well,
