I've been prescribed isotroin 10mg, and I'm not sure when to take it. Should I be taking it before meals or after? I'm a bit confused and just want to make sure I'm doing it correctly.

I've been having this issue where I get these really painful boils on my buttocks around my period. They get big and hard, and while sometimes they come to a head, most times they just go away on their own. I've seen a bunch of doctors and even had tests done, but nothing seems to help. Antibiotics worked temporarily, but the boils always seem to come back once I stop taking them. I'm a 42-year-old woman and otherwise in good health; I eat well, exercise, my weight is normal, and I'm super hygienic. What could be causing this, and is there anything else I can try to solve this problem?

it sounds like you may be experiencing recurrent boils on your buttocks, especially during your periods. This could be due to a condition called hidradenitis suppurativa. To help manage the symptoms and prevent recurrence, I recommend trying a combination of treatments. You can use a topical antibiotic like Mupirocin ointment twice daily on the affected area. In addition, taking an oral antibiotic like Doxycycline 100mg twice daily for a few weeks can also be helpful in reducing inflammation and preventing infection. It's important to maintain good hygiene practices and wear loose, breathable clothing to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist, it would be best to follow up with a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
