I'm dealing with this painful boil where my moustache is, and it's causing my whole lip area to swell up. There's pus that has formed sort of like a bump on my lips. What could be causing this, and how should I go about treating it?

I'm having a really uncomfortable skin reaction after eating mangoes. My whole body is covered in red marks, and it gets worse if I miss a dose of the medications the doctors gave me: ommacortil, patadin, levosiz, and ranitidine. Is there anything specific I should avoid eating in this situation? And is it possible to find a permanent solution to stop this?
