View allI've been struggling with psoriasis on my hands, and I'm currently using Acrotac. It doesn't seem to be working anymore, and I'm worried about what to try next that won't come with a bunch of side effects. Could you suggest some alternative treatments or medications? Id really appreciate your advice!

I've got some boils on my thighs and I've been taking amox capsules for them. Is that the right way to go about it, or should I be doing something else? What's the best way to treat these boils?
Taking Amox capsules for boils on your thighs may be incorrect without a proper diagnosis, as boils are typically caused by bacterial infections like Staphylococcus aureus, and Amox capsules are usually prescribed for specific bacterial infections; instead, try applying warm compresses to the affected area, keeping it clean with antibacterial soap, and seeking medical attention if the boil becomes severely painful, large, or accompanied by fever or pus.

I've got this heat bump on my left buttock that's been around for about six days now. It's getting bigger and it's really painful. Also, I've been having a fever. Could you suggest any creams or medication for it? And are there certain foods I should avoid? Should I stick with regular soap for cleaning it, or is there a special soap I should be using instead?
Surgeon opinion is advised to the patient.
