A member asked:

I m on mgo supplement & have gt anal abcess or boil. is this a side effect of mgo and what treatment? shld i stop mgo? i have acid reflux. on omepraz

No: An abscess in the perianal area is a serious condition because it can be complicated by forming a fistula with the rectum. It is not a side effect of mg. Please see a general or colorectal surgeon urgently.
