I've got this annoying cystic acne on one of my buttocks, and it's super painful and inflamed. In the past, I've had cystic acne on my cheek and chest, and my doctor recommended Nadoxin, which worked back then. But now, using Nadoxin on this one doesn't seem to do the trick. Should I stick with Nadoxin, or do I need to try something else?

Considering the severity of your cystic acne on your buttock, it may be beneficial to switch to a more potent medication. I recommend stopping the use of Nadoxin and consulting with your doctor for a prescription of a stronger topical antibiotic like Duac gel. Additionally, an oral antibiotic like Doxycycline may be necessary to help reduce inflammation and control the infection. Make sure to follow your doctor's instructions for proper dosage and duration of treatment.

I've recently been diagnosed with shingles at 25, and I can't shake this worry after reading online that it might be a symptom of something more serious like HIV. Should I be concerned about this connection? Is there something specific I should look out for?
if you are concerned about HIV, it is important to get tested for it. In the meantime, for shingles, you can take antiviral medications such as Acyclovir 800mg five times a day for 7-10 days to help reduce the severity and duration of the outbreak. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen to help with any discomfort.
