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.

I've been dealing with this really intense itching on my lower back and abdomen, and I suspect it might be a fungal infection. I'm wondering if there's a gel with clotrimazole 2 mg that I could use to help with this. Could you recommend something effective for this kind of skin issue?

I've been dealing with these annoying acne-like bumps on my hips and the back of my thighs. They don't bother me all the time, but when they do, they can be really itchy and painful. After some Googling, I think it might be folliculitis. I'm already on Isotretinoin for the acne on my face, and my lipid and liver function tests are normal. Do you have any suggestions for an ointment or something that could help with this?
Candid cream for local application for 7 days, tab flucanozole 1 tablet once a week for 2 weeks is advised for your fungal infection.And for follicullitis u can take tablet Augmentin duo 625 mg thrice daily for 5 days lastly for acne Clinsol gel is advised to the patient for 3 weeks, if any side-effects kindly consult dermatologist.
