I've been experiencing hives that seem to appear and disappear all over my body. What could be causing this, and is there anything else I can do besides taking Benadryl?

View allI'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.

I'm really concerned about my nose piercing. It's been 4 months and it hasn't healed properly yet. There's no pain, but it's discolored and there's redness around the piercing. Plus, there's this black mark and a bump that's not making it look neat at all. Could you please help me understand what's going on and what I can do about it?
It seems like you may be experiencing a keloid or hypertrophic scar formation around your nose piercing. To help with the healing process and reduce the discoloration and bump, you can try using over-the-counter silicone gel sheets to flatten and reduce the scar tissue. Additionally, applying a topical corticosteroid cream like Betamethasone 0.1% twice a day can help reduce inflammation and redness. Make sure to keep the area clean and avoid any trauma to the piercing site.
