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.

I'm wondering if Eumosone M is okay to use for children. Are there any side effects I should be aware of? My baby has developed some red rashes around the neck, and I'm worried about what's safe to apply.

Eumosone M cream should not be used for children UNLESS prescribed by a doctor. It contains a combination of mometasone (0.1%) and miconazole which may not be suitable for pediatric use. Side effects may include skin thinning, irritation, or allergic reactions. It is important to consult a pediatrician for proper evaluation and treatment of your baby's rash.

I've been using Zole F for my scrotal dermatitis for a couple of days now, and I'm starting to worry because I've been sweating a lot where I applied it. The skin around that area has gotten darker, and now the top layer is peeling. Is this something I should be concerned about? Does it sound normal to you?

Usually such infections will heal with Hyper Pigmentation,no need to worry that will become normal,follow your docotros advice

I noticed that the redness has come back on my penis foreskin after using Candid B, which helped at first. The redness is mainly at the bottom of the foreskin near the penis head, but there are no ulcers and it doesn't itch. Should I be concerned about this recurring redness, or is it normal? What should I do next?

continue same medication until symptoms fully resolved
