Boils
Hello,
I am male, 61 years old, of normal weight.
The only known problem is a benign, oversized prostate, which is being monitored by a urologist. I take Tamsulosin and Versikur.
Regarding my problem:
Just for your information, because I don't know if it's related to the problem:
In 2018, from May to July, I was on a motorcycle tour in Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and Russia. I fell seriously ill twice - food poisoning. I had to rely on Imodium I brought with me and tough it out.
I returned home at the end of July 2018.
In the 3rd week of August 2018, my problems started:
From that point until today, I have had a total of 10 extremely severe boils and, most recently, an infection on my right foot.
Out of the 10 boils, 4 were on my head, all the size of a plum or larger.
One was on my lower lip, one behind my ear, one on my neck, and two in my ears.
I visited several doctors - the boils on my head were surgically opened by surgeons, etc. - the full program.
Most of them were accompanied by antibiotics.
Nine days ago, I had a 1-2 mm scratch on the middle toe of my right foot, and within a few hours, a huge infection of the entire right foot developed - again, the problem was solved with the use of antibiotics and bed rest.
An internist conducted all tests and examinations again, all blood values (major and minor tests) and immune values are okay, blood pressure, ECG, all normal.
It was found that my Vitamin D level is too low, it is at 10.
I am afraid to do anything anymore because once I finish the antibiotics, it takes about 10-12 days for either a boil or abscess to develop again.
My question is, could all of this be caused by a low Vitamin D level? Do you have any ideas on what else I can do?
Thank you.
