Buttock scabs won't heal

[jacksmom174]

I've had scabs on buttocks for two years. How can I get rid of them? I've used several tubes of neosporin and soaked in warm salt water. How can I get rid of them??

try aqureous cream you can get it i asda or boots or any other chemist you could also try cavlon cream as that acts as a barrier so it will protect so will help decrease and eventually get rid with antibiotics and sttop picking it as if you do as this will prevt it rom dissapering. good luck x

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
The reason it is not healing could be that it is a scaly rash due to atopic or contact dermatitis, psoriasis or even eczema. Hence proper treatment by skin specialist which may take time for complete healing is required.
They could be non healing due to underlying infection, low supply of oxygen to the wound that is reducing the healing process, underlying diabetes, or due to underlying dermatitis (as explained). Wounds heal slower in smokers or alcoholics who have been drinking for a long time. So these have to be ruled out.  
Please consult your PCP for primary examination followed by proper referral.
Take care!
