I have a dime size red painful soft lump on the inside of my right butt cheek, without pus. It has been there for over a week. It does not look like any pictures of Herpes I have found on the internet. But I am worried sick. It hurts to sit and it hurts when I walk because of friction. PLEASE HELP

I lump does not look like a pimple. It does not have a head, or whitehead. It just looks like a red lump that is soft.
Does Folliculitis have to have pus in infected area?

It sounds like an abcess. Usually starts as a hair follicle that is infected by staphlococcus. The hair follicle encloses and becomes larger. The pressure from the fluid pushing on your skin causes the pain. They are also called carbuncles. The best would be to go on some antibiotics from a physician or midlevel provider. Topical bactriban or triple antibiotic may work, but if you get them recurrently, it is best to get on some antibiotics.

Yes, there isn't a. Herpes is triggered by way of an epidemic. Actually, there's little medication for viruses these days. The handiest factor that you'll ordinarily do when it comes to a viral contamination is support the immune process and wish it fights it off. Not with Herpes, the immune process are not able to win towards it. Thus you handiest get to regard the indicators. Once you are inflamed, it remains with you for existence. So do not get inflamed.

Herpes would not normally be described as one "lump" on your butt that's painful. It most likely would have burst by now and looked like an open sore. A lot of times, the friction can cause it to spread to the other side that's touching it. It's a good sign that that hasn't happened. It would also itch/burn like crazy. There are sometimes other symptoms that go along with it like sore/swollen glands in your armpit, neck and groin. You might feel a little run down too.
If you're worried, go to the doctor before the lump goes away. If you don't get checked out you'll never stop worrying about it.

It could be an ingrown pimple or a cist. Go to a doctor and get it checked out.
