Suggest Treatment For Multiple Painful Sores On The Body

I have had sores on my left arm, left boob and parts of my left leg for about 8 months. They will not heal and are very painful. Not itchy. I have been on several antibiotics, been presribed many topical creams and nothing has worked. They bleed or ooz clear liquid. I am so scared and do not know what to do. Today I noticed a sore between my lower back where the crack starts but not by the anus. It drains clear fluid and I can not sit on it.
