Question:
Can herpes on the buttocks/upper leg/groin area look and act like a purple zit? I used a needle and they "popped" similar to a zit with clear fliud, and white plug like zits have. Do herpes sores pop with fluid? Do they just have the clear fluid or can they have the white plug as well?

Thanks
trying to keep the faith.....

Answer:
they can have white, or clean fluid.
outbreaks can really differ between people.

Answer:
JRT what do you mean by plugs?

The white comedom(?) things that look and feel like a grain of cooked white rice, but smaller. Sometimes they end up on your mirror when you pop a zit in the bathroom. Do herpes release stuff like this or just clear fluid?

Hope you're not having rice tonight. Sorry.

Answer:
Difficult to say without seeing, but it sounds like molluscum contagiosum.

Answer:
I talked to the STD clinic today and she said it is not herpes.
Katb what is molluscum contagiosum?

Answer:
Molluscum contagiosum is infection of the skin by a poxvirus, that causes flesh-colored or white smooth, waxy bumps. It spreads by direct skin contact.

Also I thought that JRTJRT's problem could be Folliculitis or Carbuncles

These also are skin infections.
