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?

- 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'm dealing with a stubborn ringworm infection in my groin area. I've been using Saibol cream, but it doesn't seem to be working, and now the infection is spreading. I'm really concerned and was wondering if using FourDerm cream and Terbicip tablets would be a better option to help clear it up. What do you think?

I'm experiencing a white beard issue, and it's quite concerning. I first noticed a couple of white hairs about two years ago, but now I'm dealing with over 40 or 50 on my face. Is there anything specific that's causing this, and how can I manage or prevent it from getting worse?
