Hi,
Localized breakdown of skin usually occurs from the combination of wetness and rubbing. Working on either would generally fix the problem. Sores can be on top of very deep infections that are quite dangerous. I can provide general information but not specific to your condition without directly examining the area.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
