Only going on personal experience, but when I switched to short nose saddles to sort out one problem, I found that some saddles just didn't fit my ischials properly and caused the exact symptoms you describe. Very bruised sitbones, skin flaking off, painful to sit back on the bike. It took me two weeks to heal properly.
I switched to a Specialized Power saddle and the problem never happened again, I can sit on that thing for 10+hours and never notice it's there
