After a few days the sores healed completely.. But now their coming back is this a std, the sores are small red spots that scab over with a white crust...

Hi,
A direct view or a quality photo would have been helpful. Is there any itching? What I think is it is probably intertrigo / tinea cruris (fungal infection of skin folds) that gets secondarily infected. In such cases, I used to give anti-fungal creams like clotrimazol for 3-4 weeks and a course of antibiotic in case secondarily infected. Your doctor will guide you.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam TK, Pediatrician
