Recurrent boils/pimples on nose
I have a peculiar problem that Doctors keep diagnosing as acne but IMHO it's clearly not. I have had some acne on my cheek as a teenager and not in my adulthood. I once drank beer from someone else glass mistakenly and passed out at a bar. In a few days, I got a cold sore on my lip. And then a couple of weeks later another one. I was continously put on Acyclovir for a few weeks. Since I was facing irritation on my scalp, I was taken off Acyclovir. Then a few weeks later I started getting boils on the bridge of my nose. It was absolutely relentless - they kept moving at the rate of atleast one every alternate day. I was getting some inside my nose as well. I was put on doxycline 100 mg for 3 months. It appeared like it was working. Once I was taken off the medication, the boils started coming back - again all on the bridge of my nose. I was put on Accutane/Isotretinoin for 6 months. 3 months after I was taken off, they boils began to return. Can someone please advice what can be done?
