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 taking FLUKA500 for a fungal infection I've had for the past 2 years and using MYCODERMC powder along with a citrazine tablet. I've been stuck with this for so long, and I'm not sure if these are the best treatments or if there's something else I should try. It's been quite frustrating. What do you think, is there a better approach to finally get rid of this?

My friend left Veet on their private area for too long, like over an hour, and now the skin is badly burned, red, and super itchy, especially in the evenings. They've tried different creams but nothings helping. It's stressing them out, and theyre not really talking about it because they know it was their mistake leaving it on so long. What can they do to help heal the skin or ease the irritation?
Lulican cream for local application for atleast 2 weeks is advised to the patient.

I'm really worried about my hair fall issue. I was diagnosed with something called telogen effluvium and my doctor recommended biotee plus for three months. But even after taking it all this time, I'm not seeing any improvement. Is it safe to keep taking the biotin supplement for longer? How long can I actually continue with this?
It takes time to recover,continue the medicine and visit your Dermatologist for followup
