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.

I recently visited a doctor because I've been struggling with dandruff and hair fall. She recommended I use Beprogel on the affected spots, but my dandruff seems to be all over my scalp. Is it okay to apply Beprogel to my entire head?

I'm really worried because I've been having these tears in the skin below my scrotum and above the anus for about three months. Initially, it wasn't that bothersome, but now it's started itching quite a bit for the past 45 days. I'm using this Konaz anti-fungal cream, but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. What could be causing this, and what should I do to get some relief?
Thats unusual,visit General Physician for appropriate approach.and maintain balanced diet and healthy lifestyle
