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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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'm dealing with this spider pee rash that came back on my upper thigh. The first time I got it, my doctor friend told me to use Clobeng a few times a day, and luckily there wasn't any itching then, so I just went with that treatment. But now it's showing up again and causing irritation. I've started using Clobeng once more, but I'm concerned it might not go away entirely this time. How can I get rid of it for good?
Along with topical lotion you have to use oral Antifungal medications,for which visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment, personal hygiene is more important for such conditions.

I've been using this Panderm Plus cream, and every time I go out, my skin seems to get darker, even though I put on sunscreen. I'm really thinking about stopping the use of this cream, but I'm not sure how to get my skin back to normal afterward. Do you have any advice on how I can handle this situation?
1. *Gradually taper off*: Don't stop using Panderm Plus abruptly. Gradually reduce the frequency and amount applied over 2-3 weeks. 2. *Replace with alternative creams*: Consult your doctor or dermatologist for alternative creams that are less likely to cause hyperpigmentation. 3. *Use sunscreen with high SPF*: Continue using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with high SPF (at least 30) and reapply every 2 hours. 4. *Wear protective clothing*: Cover your skin with clothing, hats, and umbrellas when going out. 5. *Consider vitamin C or niacinamide creams*: These creams may help reduce hyperpigmentation and promote skin brightening.

I've been using this Kojivit Plus cream my dermatologist recommended for my dark spots, and it has kojic acid in it. I've been at it for a couple of months, but instead of getting lighter, my dark spots seem to be getting darker. Is it possible that this cream could be making them worse?
Yes, it's possible that Kojivit Plus cream containing kojic acid may be causing the dark spots to darken further. Reduce Frequency or Concentration:and comsult dermatologist
