Question

I have a boil on my left thigh and I'm taking doxycycline with cipladine ointment but no pus is coming out. Do I really need to get a small cut from the doctor? I'm nervous about the procedure is there any other way to treat this without surgery?

If boil doesn’t drain with antibiotics, minor incision may be needed—don’t delay if swelling increases.

I'm dealing with acne and scars on my back and it's really frustrating. My doctor recommended Acnesol, but a few months back I tried Persol Forte and it worked better than Acnesol.
