Yes, thank you, I am a Family Doc, in Indiana and I have had several pts, ususally young women who present with a small area of rash on the hip or buttock region. The rash is usually small, typically no larger than a quarter and is very typical of a herpetic type rash. Not uncommonly these women deny any history of HSV.  I initially thought it could be dermatitis herpetiformis, but the photos on line really dont look much like what I have seen. Any input.
Hi Doc, The rash you have Described Does not fit into Dermatitis herpitiformis (DH).DH is a gluten sensitive problem associated with osteopathy. The Distribution of rash is over the extremities mainly though buttocks are also involved. It is itchy. There is no relation between herpes an DDH. the rash you are seeing may be reactivation of herpes simplex infection. RegarDs, Chat Doctor.
