Everybody needs some sweet okole. Keola and Kopono Beamer Abstract: Recurrent herpes simplex of the sacrum and buttocks is commonly seen by dermatologists but rarely described in the literature. These patients can be helped by timely administration of acyclovir (famcyclovir or valcyclovir). Since recurrent sacral and buttock herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections can be associated with neurologic symptoms (sciatica, urinary retention, low back pain) it is important to recognize for primary care physicians, orthopedists, physical therapists and urologists. Case Report: The patient is a 77-year-old woman who presented for evaluation of a recurrent localized blistering eruption on the right buttock. This has occurred off and on for two to three … Continue reading
by George Reizner, M.D. Introduction After 30 years in dermatology, I have the luxury of looking back on the arc of my career and to reflect on the changes witnessed.
