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 really worried because I used zalim lotion and garlic on my ringworms for just 23 days, and now I've got these brownish scars. I'm feeling really tense about it and don't even want to go outside because of how they look. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I should do?

I've been using this honeymilk face pack overnight, about 12 hours, and even applied it to my eyebrows. My friend just mentioned that using honey on eyebrows can turn them white. Should I be worried? Is it true that honey can do that? Please let me know what you think.
