I've had a few sores, two on my stomach and one more has appeared on my arm. One on my stomach has healed but has left raised uneven scare. The other one on my stomach has almost healed. The one on my arm is open and weeping.

They all looked like the one on my arm at one point, I have been using anti fungal cream and it seems to be helping. I'm just a bit worried that I'm just temporarily fixing the issue and there's a more serious underlying issue.

Can anyone help?

Hi Motherleopard,

Thank you for posting on the forum with pictures. You haven't mentioned whether you have visited your Dr to get the sores assessed? If you haven't then we would urge you to visit your Dr and they then may refer you to a dermatologist. Also they can then do a blood test to check for infection or even deficiencies.

Kind regards
