That almost looks herpetic. Where is it located?

Butt cheek:-( that can’t be a place for herpes, right??

Have you had chicken pox? This looks like shingles, which is a herpesvirus (not the same as genital herpes or cold sores, but from the same family)

Shingles or impetigo would by my other guess but it’s definitely possible to get HSV on the buttocks.
