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 really worried because half of my lower lip has turned pink and it looks pretty ugly. I don't smoke or anything, so I'm confused and concerned about what's going on. Can you help me figure out why this might have happened and if there's a way to fix it permanently?
This change in color could be due to a variety of reasons such as an allergic reaction, infection, or even a vitamin deficiency. To address this issue, you can try using a lip balm containing hydrocortisone to reduce inflammation and restore the normal color of your lip. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated and consider taking a vitamin B complex supplement to support overall lip health. If the issue persists, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.
