Avatar f tn ve had for weeks now. I went to my dermatologist and because there were several whiteheads on my neck he didnt even take a second look and told me it was acne. I'm pretty sure its not acne though. A couple of weeks ago I had patches of bumps on both side of my neck (left and right side only and clear in the middle) these bumps were irritating (my skin felt tight) but it was skin colored and barely noticeable so I didn't do anything about it.
Avatar n tn Ask him to take some over the counter pain reliever and consult a doctor for examination and antibiotics prescription. If there are recurrent boils, then please get his blood sugar levels estimated. Also since he has had many courses of antibiotics, so he needs to get a culture sensitivity of the pus from the boisl done so that specific topical as well as oral antibiotics can be prescribed. I hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts.
Avatar m tn As per his prescription I also took one tablet of Diflucan 150 mg once and now I am on ten day course of Doxycycline tab and Nigazole tab (each 500 mg twice a day). After applying the cream my itching and burning sensation is gone. I had some white tiny boils(seeds on penis) which are also gone but now i am having red spots on that place. Is it a healing indication??? There is also some pain in my right testicles. It is not continuous. whether I am having any STD or other infection?????
Avatar m tn The first doctor prescribed me for doxycycline for 2 weeks during the course of the medication it went away. After a couple days they came back. Having to go to a naval hospital I don't get a choice in who my doctor is and my original doctor had been moved to a different base.
Avatar m tn Boils are painful, pus-filled, irritated bumps on the skin. Boils are quite common. Many boils are called carbuncles. Boils can be caused by staph infection (staphylococcus bacteria). When staphylococcus infection gets inside the hair follicle, the infection can spread into root of the follicle and the surrounding soft-tissues. As the staph infection works its way to the surface of the skin, the boil develops. Boils can be found almost anywhere on the body.
Avatar n tn Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with HS about two years ago. It started as a few small pimples on my thighs and then under my armpits that eventually turned into nasty, inflamed, infected boils. This went on and off for a few months. My dermatologist injected corisone directly into the boils/bumps and put me on doxycycline, then oracea for about six months total.
Avatar n tn He told me that I had an infection of my hair follicles and prescribed Doxycycline. I took it for 10 days and all but an area behind the lower part of my right ear went away. I went back to him in December - when I couldn't take the itching any more and he perscribed Doxycycline again. And it appeared to almost go away - but the very itchy bumps are back in full force again and just in that area. It is driving me crazy.
Avatar f tn I have been recently diagnosed with hydradenitis. I had a big outbreak of boils in my groin area. Several of them ,at first everyone thought heey were just regular boils that were very infected until the surgeon came in and said what it was. He did surgery to remove some of the sweat glands some of them healed others just got smaller. Then a month after I got one near the anus called a perirectal abcess, I had to have an incision and drainage done.
Avatar f tn Ive been on doxycycline for 3 1/2 days, and the discharge has not gone away at all.. may have even worsened. My vagina hurts excruciatingly every time I pee. How long till the pain and discharge goes away?
Avatar n tn The vet prescribed doxycycline 100 mg twice a day for 3 weeks. My dog seems fine without any obvious symptoms. Can we just give him the doxycycline 100mg once a day instead because the medication may cause nausea/vomiting. Also after 3 weeks medication, how do you he is treated ? Any advice !

Avatar m tn I'm currently taking Doxycycline for anti-malaria reasons. I was wondering if it's unsafe to take for 5 consecutive months?
Avatar n tn I took single dose of doxycycline everyday for 6 weeks during the summer. Would that have cleared a chamydia infection.
Avatar n tn I have been on doxycycline an antibiotic for about 5 days and i seem to be feeling very anxious and panic like. Does anyone know if this can cause these symptoms. I am also on 25mg of zoloft. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Avatar n tn How affective is doxycycline 100mg when taken for a period of seven days to cure infections and std's present in the body alone with a shot a penicillin.
Avatar f tn Can someone tell me what STDs can be treated with Doxycycline? Can you list all of them please? Thank you.
Avatar f tn Hi, 2 nights ago I was wiping after urinating & had such severe pain I jumped & trembled. I felt the area and on the inside of the labia majora I had a bright red nodule the size of a pea. I got a mirror & looked and lightly felt it. It was solid & movable under the skin but the pain was insane. It woke me up twice & I ended up putting the topical lidocaine for my chemo port just to get some rest. Well, this morning it hurt even worse, any movement & instant pain.
Avatar n tn Many different infections and reactions cause similar types of symptoms not specific for hiv.If you had no exposure to hiv,you need to consult your doctor for that problem.
Avatar n tn I have suffered from recurring boils even was admitted to the hospital for 4 days with a staph infection. Dr. told me to use antibacterial soap and take a round of antibiotics. Neither of these treatments worked. Here is the real cure, Cured my recurring condition in less than 1 week. 1. Go on a juice fast for 3 days. Juice fast consists of fresh made juice made with a juicer, blended raw vegetable soup (receipe below) lots of water and hot green tea with organic tumeric.
Avatar f tn I have never had a boil on my vagina it got so hard and so big it hurt to sit walk etc. I finally went to the Dr. Keep in mind it was so big it over lapped the other lip on my vagina I've been with my husband for 16 years and cheating is not an option.
