I was diagnosed with genital herpes over a year ago that occurs and has reoccurred at the base of my penis. I have suddenly developed a sore near the top/center of my buttocks that looks like a herpes outbreak. Can the same herpes infection migrate to another location or should I be concerned that this may be something different?[

 Hello,
Yes, the herpes outbreak can occur in a different location as you describe. This would be quite likely the cause and I would not be alarmed that it is something else, though it would be impossible to say for sure.
Best wishes.

Do the herpes outbreaks leave discoloration in the skin. Like scars after you have picked a scab from your skin?
Thanks

Hello,
Scarring can occur especially if you scratch the lesions. Try to avoid this, use anti-itch medication, local anesthetics and pain killers to reduce this risk.
Best wishes.
