Need another opinion: In general, if you have a problem and your doctor has not been able to help, it is appropriate to get a second opinion. In this case, there are many different causes for sores on the skin. It could be due to an infection or inflammation of the blood vessels, for example, so further testing may be required. Usually, you can just say to your doctor that you are concerned that you're not getting better and you would like to get another approach.
