A member asked:

I get hsv outbreaks @ the base of my spine & begining inside of the buttocks. now i have a rash & its going on over a month what can it be? is it hsv?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need an exam: It's really hard to know what's wrong without seeing what you are talking about. I'd recommend a trip to the gyn doc or dermatologist for a good exam. This could be herpes, but it's unlikely given the duration (HSV outbreaks usually resolve within a week or so).
