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 been dealing with this really uncomfortable itching on my scrotum and the head of my penis for about 34 days now. The scrotum is also oozing a clear, smelly liquid, and the penis head looks a bit swollen with severe itching. It's not affecting my thighs, just the scrotum and penis head. I'm really worried and not sure whats going on. Can anyone help figure out what this might be?

You may be experiencing a fungal infection in the genital area. To treat this condition, you can use an antifungal cream containing Clotrimazole. Apply the cream on the affected areas, including the scrotum sac and penis head. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole to help clear up the infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid wearing tight clothing to help with the healing process.

I'm a bit concerned because I was prescribed the fas 3 kit for a suspected fungal infection and followed the instructions, but after feeling better on day 2, the discomfort and burning sensation came back on day 3. The doctor said to check back after a week if things didn't improve, but I'm not sure if I should wait that long. Should I go for another consultation now, or give it a week like the doctor suggested?

It's normal to experience some fluctuation in symptoms during treatment. Since youre still feeling discomfort and burning, it's a good idea to consult your doctor sooner rather than waiting a week, especially if the symptoms arent improving. They may adjust your treatment plan for better relief.
