I'm dealing with this persistent boil near my ankle that's been around for about 69 months now. It dries up at times, but then swells again. Ive attached a picture. Could you let me know if this is something serious?

I've been dealing with some acne on my cheeks and have a few blemish scars too. I'm wondering if I can use Klinface A gel again? It was prescribed to me by my dermatologist before and worked really well in about a month. Is it safe for me to start using it again on my own?

Yes you can use it no problem
