Blistering caused by a herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection on the buttocks of a 71 year old Hispanic male patient. The blisters are teeming with virus particles and therefore extremely infectious. This infection can be caused by exposure to either HSV-1 (oral herpes) or HSV-2 (genital herpes) and is usually acquired through a break in the skin. Treatment is with antiviral drugs. | |
