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 have a cut on my left hand that's not too deep but has left a complete mark. What treatment options are there for it? Also, if I consider plastic surgery, how much would it cost to get rid of the scar?
For a superficial cut leaving a scar on your left hand, several treatment options can help minimize its appearance. Topical treatments like silicone gel or cream, pressure dressings, and even some natural remedies can be effective. If you are considering scar revision surgery, it can alter the appearance of the scar but may not completely remove it, and the cost can vary based on the complexity of the scar and the surgeon's fees

I'm dealing with a really painful boil on my buttocks, and it's been bothering me a lot. I was wondering if taking Sporidex 500 mg would help clear it up?

I've been dealing with this rough skin inside my mouth and inner lips, and it's starting to worry me. I'm making sure to stay well hydrated and take care of my oral hygiene, but this issue just won't go away. It's affecting both the inside of my cheeks and my lips. Can you offer any advice on what might be causing this and how to get rid of it?
Peeling of oral mucosa can be caused due to irritants. These may include overly acidic or spicy foods, harsh toothpastes or smokingdrinking. You can modify your diet to include softer ingredients and try changing your toothpaste. If the problem still persists, you should consult a physician.
