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 21 and pretty happy with my hair, but my forehead is big, and I've always admired Zayn Malik's hairstyle. I'm really hoping to achieve a similar look. Can I consider a hair transplant to make my hairline smaller? Also, I'm worried about whether hair might break or fall out after the procedure. Is a hair transplant a good idea for me?
Hair transplant surgery can indeed help. The procedure involves moving hair follicles from one part of the scalp to the balding or thinning areas. One common method is Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) or Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). After a hair transplant, it is normal for the transplanted hair to shed within the first few weeks. However, this is a normal part of the process, and new hair will eventually grow in its place. It is important to follow post-operative care instructions provided by your surgeon to ensure the best results. Hair transplant surgery can be beneficial for those looking to lower their hairline and achieve a fuller head of hair. It is a permanent solution to hair loss in the transplanted areas. It is important to consult with a qualified and experienced surgeon to discuss your specific goals and expectations for the procedure.

I'm dealing with a really uncomfortable issue with my right breast. The skin on my areola is peeling and it's constantly sticking to my bra. When I take my bra off, the skin comes off too and it's quite painful. I had eczema a few years back with similar symptoms but that cleared up with aloe vera after about two months. This time it seems worse and isn't as itchy, just sometimes. It's sore and a bit reddish. I'm worried and wondering if it's possible to be dealing with something serious like cancer at my age. It's really freaking me out and I'm not sure what to do.
