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've noticed a white patch on my back in the lumbar region for about six months now, and I didn't pay much attention to it until I saw that it's getting bigger. Now there's also a tiny patch on the right side of my abdomen. I went to see a dermatologist, and he mentioned it's vitiligo or leucoderma. My friends mentioned there's no treatment for this. Is that true? What should I do about it?
VitiligoLeucoderma can be distressing, but there are treatment options available. _Treatment Options_ 1. *Topical Corticosteroids*: Over-the-counter or prescription creams to reduce inflammation and slow the progression of the condition. 2. *Topical Immunomodulators*: Creams or ointments that modify the immune system's response to reduce inflammation. 3. *Phototherapy*: Exposure to specific wavelengths of light, such as narrowband UVB or PUVA, to stimulate repigmentation. 4. *Vitiligo Cover-up*: Camouflage techniques using makeup or self-tanning products to conceal the affected areas. _Surgical Options_ 1. *Skin Grafting*: Transferring healthy skin from one area to the affected area. 2. *Melanocyte Transplantation*: Transferring melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) from healthy skin to the affected area. _Alternative Therapies_ 1. *Ayurvedic Treatments*: Herbal remedies, such as turmeric, ginger, and neem, may help reduce inflammation and promote repigmentation. 2. *Homeopathic Treatments*: Remedies like arsenic album, calcarea carbonica, and sepia may help alleviate symptoms. _Lifestyle Changes_ 1. *Sun Protection*: Use broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to prevent further skin damage. 2. *Stress Management*: Practice stress-reducing techniques like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises. 3. *Healthy Diet*: Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.

I've been noticing some white spots on my face for the past week. They're a bit rough and sometimes itchy. Usually, when this happens every couple of months, I use Clobetamil G and they go away. This time, though, it doesn't seem to be working. I'm starting to get a bit worried. What do you think might be going on?
See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

I'm 17 and recently I've been losing a lot of hair and finding it hard to focus on my studies. I've noticed I masturbate daily and I'm worried it might be related. Could you help me understand what's going on and suggest ways to handle the hair loss? Also, what kind of food should I be eating to help with this?
