I have been dealing with acne and PCOS for some time. My dermatologist has prescribed isotretinoin for several cycles, which helped clear my skin, but my acne has started coming back. I have also been working on improving my diet, exercise, sleep and overall lifestyle. At this point, I would prefer not to take isotretinoin again or use Femilon for my acne or PCOS. I would like to know what other options are available to manage my acne and PCOS, especially options that can help control the underlying hormonal issues and prevent the acne from repeatedly coming back.
I noticed a long, flat boil/lump about 4 cm in size on my pubic area around 10 days ago. At the same time, I had lower abdominal pain on the same side for about 3 days, which resolved on its own. I used warm compresses for a few minutes over 2 days, after which the lump drained spontaneously and reduced significantly in size. It is now much smaller than it was initially.
The area where the lump has reduced has left a dark mark, which is slightly itchy only when touched. I currently have no pain, redness, warmth, swelling, or fever, and I have not felt unwell at any point.
Should I have the remaining lump examined by a doctor, or is it reasonable to leave it alone and allow it to resolve on its own?
I was in Kolkata and was taking phototherapy for my vitiligo, currently I have moved to Noida. And I need to take phototherapy, as the patches are spreading rapidly, if anyone knows where to get full body puva therapy, please suggest.
