I've been dealing with this annoying itch in my leg for over a week now. It seems like it only happens to me during the summer months. I'm using Mycoderm powder, but the itching just won't go away. Any idea what's going on or what else I could try?

We tried to drain out the pus, and I think weve gotten rid of all of it, but shes now feeling really weak, can't talk well, and has a fever. She lives in a village in North Karnataka. What should we do next? Really concerned!

The symptoms suggest that she is in sepsis,better to visit nearest hsopital for further management

I've been having these boils on my buttocks and they're incredibly painful. I've tried a few medicines but they arent really helping. Could you please guide me on what to do? I'm feeling really uncomfortable and worried about this.

I recommend trying an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin. Apply it to the affected area three times a day after cleaning the area with mild soap and water. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with the pain and inflammation. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to promote healing. If the boils do not improve or if you develop a fever, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
