Hi,

Novaclox is a good medicine,and yes it can be taken for a boil,but you should be sure that it is a boil because bartholin cyst can also happen besides the vagina.
Other non prescription drugs are ibuprofen to relieve pain, and sitz bath will also help you and give you comfort. Warm compresses can speed healing.
You should visit a gynecologist if you have severe discomfort while sitting,walking or there is some discharge through vagina although if it is bartholin then should also go off within a few days just with non prescription drugs i told you.

Dr. Puneet Madan answered : 12 years ago

However if the cyst(bartolin) is blocked and and gets infected it might not go away by it self then.then you may have to apply more medical surgical treatments to it.

Patient asked followup Question: 12 years ago

I used ibuprofen, but the painkiller starts to wear off in 4 hours. Wat can i do so that i am able to walk properly and sit because the pain is unbearable sometimes and right now i am having exams. So is there any alternative before i consult my gynecologist?

Dr. Puneet Madan answered : 12 years ago

Hi,

There are only two types of treatment which can be given to you medical and surgical.
If the treatment is medical then it is one anti inflammatory(ibuprofen 3-4 times daily),one antibiotic(novaclox three times daily),one probiotic, and plenty of water help you flush your system.
Pain killer is the only thing to reduce pain,but you can use a little warm compresses also that would also help you and have sitz bath in night(fill your bath tub and sit in it so that your hips are dipped in,you may use only warm water or alternatively warm and cold water whatever suits you this would help you)
Till the time you have your exams or if you are visiting some place then you can pain killers a little more frequently,but visit a gynecologist as soon as possible and she would tell you if you need only medical treatment or do you need some surgical intervention as well which can only be told after examination.

Hello, I have had a nail fungus for a good ten years or so. When I first noticed it, I went to my doctor and he game me lamasil which I stopped taking after a few days since it had negative affects on me. Thereafter, I stopped taking care of it and just let it go for a good 7 or 8 years. I eventually grew up and started getting very self conscious of how it looked and wanted to wear sandals and flip flops and not have people think nasty things about me. A few years ago I went to my doctor again and he gave me a topical oil which I used for over a year and did not see any results. About two years ago, I noticed that a vertical brown line was starting to grow from the bottom up. I went to a dermatologist who took a sample of my nail but did not take a sample of the nail bed or from the cuticle. Biopsy came back as of course it being a fungus. He in turn gave me pills to take which I also had to stop taking since it was having a bad affect on my liver. After that, my dermatologist said that he would give me laser treatments which I did two of. They did not clear it but it looks a little bit better then what it was before. Still thick, yellow, crumbling below the nail, nail bed where new nail is growing is darker then the others and the brown line is still there. It is a thick brown line. How did I get this brown line? Did I get it because of the prolonged damage of the nail bed due to the years of having the nail fungus?

You're most welcome. Nail Melanoma does not affect multiple nails together while Longitudunal Melanonychia (LM) often does. The fact that an additional nail is showing changes is nearly conclusive that this is LM, which as I said is harmless. However it would be best to see your doctor to get this confirmed since I cannot see the affected area. I would recommend getting the entire nail removed if its the only one affected by fungus, but this will be solely to treat the fungus not because I thin ...

A few years back after having visited a hill station in India.. i got this sort of coating on my upper lip that couldn't be scraped off easily, a lot of my friends did too.. but even now my problem persists, this was followed by dryness around my lip and white patches that were spreading and cuts started forming. on consulting several dermatologists, they prescribed Fluticasone Propionate ointments of varying concentration saying that its caused by the fact that I was born by extremely dry skin and the saliva dries the area more, but I've been using petroleum jelly on my lips since I was small as I always used to get chapped lips.. I similar sort of dry patch developed on my finger which went on to spread over the years to my entire finger, for which i use the the same medication.. the itching on the finger and the dryness goes away after a couple of days of use but then it comes back when not used and the texture of my finger has turned out to be slightly glossy looking compared to the rest of my fingers..

Doctor's Answer

Hi, As you said that you don't have leucoderma,and it is just simply dried lips then primary cause for dried lips is allergy.
