Had some antibiotic shots on my back about 78 days ago, and now they're starting to hurt a bit. Any idea what might be causing this?

The lingering pain at the injection site 7-8 days after antibiotic injections on your back could be due to inflammation, muscle irritation, or a localized reaction to the antibiotic, which can cause delayed-onset pain.

View allI've been dealing with recurring ringworm issues and I'm really getting frustrated. I've gone through three cycles of using candiforce 100mg and antifungal cream according to the 15-day treatment but it just keeps coming back a few days after I finish. Every time it seems to be completely gone, it just reappears out of the blue. What should I do for a permanent solution? I'm really tired of this repeating cycle.

I applied lime on a mole on my face on August 1st, 2017, and it led to a burn. The burned skin came off on August 7th, but now the area is red. I'm currently using Fucidin ointment as advised by my doctor, but it's still red. My engagement is on August 25th, 2017. Can you suggest how I can heal it or make it better?
Given the burn injury and prolonged redness, consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice; in addition to Fucidin ointment, apply topical treatments like aloe vera gel, silicone sheets, or vitamin E oil to promote healing and reduce redness; also, try cool compresses, avoid direct sun exposure, and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to minimize scarring and hyperpigmentation, and hopefully, your skin will improve by your engagement date.

I'm noticing that the skin under my breasts and in the pubic area is getting darker, and I'm really worried if this could be something serious. I tried using aloe vera gel, but I'm not sure if it's helping. Can you give me some advice on what might be going on?
The skin darkening under your breast and pubic area could be due to a condition called acanthosis nigricans, which is often associated with insulin resistance or hormonal imbalances. I recommend using a topical cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid to help lighten the affected areas. You can try using Melalite cream twice daily for 4-6 weeks. However, it is important to consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis
