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 been dealing with post-acne pigmentation on my cheeks, forehead, and chin, and my doctor recommended using Glambak gel. It's been about a month now, and I've noticed some reduction in dark spots and an improvement in my skin tone, which is great. But I'm a bit worried about whether I should keep using the cream long-term to maintain even skin tone. Will my skin tone go darker if I stop using it? I do use sunscreen regularly, but I'm just a bit confused about what the best approach might be. Can you help me figure this out?

I'm a 25-year-old male, 5'10, 76 kg, with no allergies, medications, injuries, or surgeries. I'm concerned about my facial hair growth it's patchy and not filling in the way I'd like. Who should I see to figure out why this is happening and if there are ways to improve it?
This concern may need a clinical evaluation and, if needed, an ultrasound or other tests. Treatment depends on symptoms and severity—some cases improve with lifestyle changes or medication, while others may need further intervention. Regular checkups and a healthy diet are key.

I'm a 20-year-old male and I've noticed my penis is curved to the left. It makes me wonder if this is something I should be concerned about. Is it safe to have a curved penis? I'm really interested in knowing if there are natural methods to straighten it out since I'm not keen on going for surgery. Any advice would be appreciated.
A curved penis is usually not a cause for concern unless it is causing pain or difficulty with sexual activity.
