I'm dealing with this really annoying pain right at my tailbone and on the skin around it, exactly where the upper part of the butt cheeks meet. It usually flares up when I'm lying on my back and puts pressure on that area. Honestly, it's been so painful that it's making sleep tough. I've had a bed sore just above that spot for years, but it sorta dried up. This new pain started about a week ago. I'm really confused about whether this is a skin thing or more of a bone issue. Who should I talk to? Do you have any idea what might be causing this?

How safe is it to take isotroin 20 tablets? I've recently had a checkup and they found I have an inflamed liver. Could this be because of the isotroin tablets? I'm really worried and looking for some advice.

No there is no such recorded sideeffects but if your liver function is abnormal do not use isotrtinoin without your doctords advice.

I'm really worried because I'm about to get married on April 24th, and I just found out I might have a sebaceous cyst. The doctor I visited gave me some meds for a few days and said we can see how it goes. But if it doesn't improve, he mentioned maybe needing a scan. I'm kind of stressed about this, and I'm wondering if there's any way to speed things up, like with some kind of needle procedure or something to take care of it fast? Any advice would be super helpful!

Get a scan done and get it removed,as soon as possible thats the only solution for sebaceous cyst
