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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
- Pressure sores: Prolonged sitting or pressure on the area can cause sores.
- Skin infections: Bacterial, fungal, or viral infections can cause persistent sores.
- Anal fissures: Small tears in the anal lining can cause painful sores.
- Hemorrhoids: Swollen veins in the rectum can cause painful sores.
What to Do
- See a doctor: Consult a primary care physician, dermatologist, or proctologist for a proper diagnosis.
- Keep the area clean: Gently wash the area with mild soap and lukewarm water.
- Avoid scratching: Scratching can further irritate the sores and lead to infection.
- Apply topical creams: Over-the-counter creams like hydrocortisone or antibiotic ointments may help soothe the sores.

View allI'm noticing these little purple dots on my chin, almost like a bruise, but I haven't been hit or anything. Do you have any idea what might be causing this? Should I be concerned?
It sounds like you may be experiencing petechiae, which are tiny purple, red, or brown spots on the skin. Petechiae can be caused by various factors such as straining, coughing, or even certain medications. However, it is important to rule out any underlying medical conditions that may be causing this. I recommend you consult with a healthcare professional to determine the exact cause and appropriate treatment.
