Has the GP looked at it? Have you managed to look at it? Only saying this as I had a rash in the same area after chemo finished and it was shingles. DH had to take a photo and send to the GP who then prescribed anti virals.

Had a knee replacement four weeks ago. About a week ago
I developed a very small pressure sore which is improving with hydrocolloid plasters but unfortunately I have developed soreness between the buttocks, it's really painful to sit. The GP prescribed antibiotic cream but it hasn't helped, I've bought an anti pressure cushion. Any help and advice would be welcome, I feel as if I will never improve, I know that a bath would help but I can't get into it at the moment.
