Management:

I'm experiencing some serious issues with my skin whenever I eat chicken, oily foods, milk products, and sweets. Lately, it's been getting worse, and I'm dealing with really large boils, often multiple at a time that are filled with pus. I used to take Minoz OD tablets before because a dermatologist recommended them, but I'm hoping to find something more affordable. Can you suggest any cheaper medicines that might help?
