I've been dealing with keloids and recently got tricort injections. It seems like my keloid has gotten smaller, but now I've started noticing a watery discharge from the area that doesn't seem to stop, even with dressing and antibiotics. I'm really worried about this. Do you have any advice on what I could do next?

I've been dealing with these sores on my butt for a couple of months now, and they're really bothering me. They just won't heal or disappear, and when I mess with them, they get scabby and even bleed sometimes. They're just persistent sores that seem to scab over but never actually go away. What could this be, and how can I get rid of them?
1. *Pressure sores*: Prolonged sitting or pressure on the area can cause sores. 2. *Skin infections*: Bacterial, fungal, or viral infections can cause persistent sores. 3. *Anal fissures*: Small tears in the anal lining can cause painful sores. 4. *Hemorrhoids*: Swollen veins in the rectum can cause painful sores. *What to Do* 1. *See a doctor*: Consult a primary care physician, dermatologist, or proctologist for a proper diagnosis. 2. *Keep the area clean*: Gently wash the area with mild soap and lukewarm water. 3. *Avoid scratching*: Scratching can further irritate the sores and lead to infection. 4. *Apply topical creams*: Over-the-counter creams like hydrocortisone or antibiotic ointments may help soothe the sores.
