Dermatologist,  's  Response
hi,
thanks for putting up your query on HCM.
as per your history, you may have furuncle/ folliculitis or an abscess.
my treatment advise would be:
1. maintain hygiene.
2. you may need a course of oral antibiotics preferably tab augmentin 625 mg qid, if not allergic, after consulting a doctor.
3. you may also apply topical antibiotics like fusiderm cream twice a day.
4. for pain, you may take tab ibuprofen and tab levocetrizine od for itching.
5. it may also need drainage, if abscess present.
consult a doctor nearby for oral antibiotics
wishing you good health.
thank you.
