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.

View allI was admitted to the hospital for a bedsore about 10 days ago and was given antibiotics. The heel is healing slowly but some parts still don't seem fully healed. The doctors initially mentioned plastic surgery but later said it should get better on its own. Should I keep taking the antibiotics or switch to betadine ointment now? The wound looks better but not completely closed.
Kindly consult plastic surgeon Sacral bed sore It will take time to heal May require surgery antibiotic and regular dressings Kindly keep the area clean Use air mattress Keep changing the posture of patient

I've been dealing with this issue for quite some time, where my lips need Vaseline almost every 15 minutes. If I skip applying it, my lips get dry, sore, and really irritating. It's starting to affect my daily life and I'm not sure if a doctor could offer any help for this. Is it just me or is there something I can do to fix it?
Dry lips would be result of vitamin deficiency or dehydration,rule out appropriate cause and use moisturizer often,don't hurry to move.

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
