I've had this sore for about three months now and it's not healing. It started as just a pimple between my butt cheeks, close to the anus, and now it won't dry up. Every time I take a bath or go to the bathroom, it just seems to stay unhealed. I've tried using a band-aid, but it's hard to apply in that area, and I've been putting neosporin gel and powder on it, but it hasn't improved. It's not a big wound, just about a 3mm radius, but it's really bothering me. Do you have any advice on what I can do to finally heal it?

I've been struggling with continuous hair fall for the past four years, and I'm really concerned about what's happening. I even consulted with Dr. Batra for a couple of years and tried professional treatments, but nothing seems to be helping. What could be going wrong? I'm looking for some guidance on what I should do next.
Hair fall can be due to various reasons such as genetics, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, or underlying medical conditions. In your case, since you have already tried treatments without success, I recommend trying minoxidil solution (brand name Rogaine) twice daily on the scalp. Additionally, you can consider taking finasteride (brand name Propecia) 1mg daily to help with hair regrowth. It is important to use these medications consistently for at least 6 months to see results. Make sure to consult a dermatologist before starting any new treatment.
