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 a bit confused about how to use the Ekran soft gel. Do I need to be in the sun after applying it, or is that not necessary? Also, should I only put it on the affected area or spread it across my whole face?
To use Ekran Soft Gel, you should apply it evenly to the affected area of the skin. There is no need to expose the skin to the sun after applying this gel. Just make sure to apply a thin layer of the gel to the affected area and gently massage it in. It is not necessary to apply it to the entire face unless directed by your doctor.

I've noticed these brown spots on the head of my penis for the last couple of months, and they seem to be getting bigger. They dont itch or hurt, but I'm worried because they darken when I press or scratch them. I did some research and it looks like it might be penile melanosis, but I'm not really sure. It's starting to mess with my head a bit, you know? Health-wise, everything's the same, no issues there. I've been trying Sonaderm NM, but it's not making any difference. Can you tell me what steps I should take next? It's just these two patches on top, but I'm kind of concerned.
No need to worry about your condition that's harmless and usually no complications in future, visit Dermatologist and evaluation is required in order to prevent it from progressing.

I've been struggling with Exfoliative Cheilitis on my lips for the last 5 years and I'm really looking for some help. What can I do to treat this from the inside and the outside? I'm desperate to find a way to get rid of this condition. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
To treat it internally, you can try taking Vitamin B supplements to support lip health. Externally, you can apply a thin layer of hydrocortisone cream to reduce inflammation and promote healing. Additionally, using a lip balm with sunscreen protection can help protect your lips from further damage. For internal treatment, you can take Vitamin B complex supplement daily. For external treatment, apply hydrocortisone cream on the affected area. Use a lip balm with sunscreen protection during the day to protect your lips.
