My Dermat has prescribed Rifampicin (600mg) and Clindamycin (300mg twice a day) to treat Stage 3 Hidradenitis Suppurativa. I've been having it for more than 15 days and expected to have it long-term (12-18 weeks).
May I know the long-term side effects of this treatment?
Will my fertility be affected? Will this damage my liver or any other organ?

I have developed a single bump on my lower lip. It started as a very small dot with mild stinging pain. After 2–3 days, it developed 2–3 small white spots (looked like pus-filled dots) and then gradually enlarged into the current bump. It is currently not painful.
This is the first time I have had such a lesion. About a week after it appeared, I developed a fever. The lesion has not noticeably crusted or scabbed so far.
I have attached a photo.
From yesterday night onwards I am having pricking sensation in my hands and legs after a hot water bath taken for two days to reduce by menstrual cramps
My hands and legs don't have any kind of redness or bumps or anything but there is prickling sensation all over.
What to do?
I have developed dark patches on my lower lip. Initially, there was a single spot, but now there are 4 to 5, contributing to the overall darkening of my lip. The affected area was initially dry; however, after applying coconut oil and Vaseline, the dryness has resolved, although the spots persist.
I am facing moderate hairfall and hair thinning. My hair health is also not good. My hair is dry and breaks easily. My diet is basically fruits and home cooked food. I avoid sugar and junk in general. I was thinking of taking biotin and multivitamin supplements. But I am not sure about their efficiency. Can I go ahead with the supplements? Which one is preferable? What is the mcg required? I am not looking for an improvement in my overall hair health.
