Hello,
Welcome and thanks for posting your query to Healthcare Magic.
As per your query you have sores with black spots, reddish orange nerves on picking one.
It appears from your query that you have developed "Non healing Ulcer".
As it is almost one and half years since your problem so it should not be taken lightltly. Generally in any of the injuries we get healing at the maximum in 2-3 weeks. So you should be bit more careful and vigilant regarding the problem.
Fix an appointment with a surgeon and preferably a plastic surgeon to see that if the wound is non healing ulcer and is not a serious one to be handled immediately.
Hope these information will help.
