I'm wondering if I can take MICRODOX LBX tablets again without a doctor's advice. They helped me before with skin pimples. Are there any side effects I should be aware of?

MICRODOX LBX tablet is a combination medication that contains Doxycycline and Lactobacillus. It is commonly used to treat acne and other bacterial infections. However, it is important to note that antibiotics like Doxycycline should not be taken without a doctor's prescription, as they can have potential side effects and may not be suitable for everyone

I've noticed that the skin on my finger joints and knuckles is really rough and dark. It's not dry or anything, but the texture feels different from the rest of my skin. I'm kind of worried about why that might be happening. Could there be specific reasons for this?

I'm dealing with some lumps popping up in my pubic area. They aren't too bad and seem like they've got pus in them. They come and go, but one got pretty bad and burst. I kept it clean and bandaged for a couple of weeks, and it went away. Now I've got two more, and it seems like they show up when there's pressure from my belt. I'm trying to wear my belt as little as possible, but I'm unsure how to stop these from appearing. Any advice on preventing this would be appreciated!
