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.

If I give it a rest for a few days, the rash fades away, but the skin stays white. It's been bothering me, and I'm wondering what could be causing this? Is it something I should be worried about?

I've been dealing with scalp itching for a while and have been taking Minoz 100 tablets to help with it. It's frustrating because whenever I stop taking the medicine, the itching comes back after a few days. I'm worried about having to rely on these tablets forever. Is there a way to stop taking them and still manage the itching? Any advice would be appreciated.
t's great that you're looking to explore alternatives to long-term medication. Minoz 100 tablets and scalp itching: Minoz 100 tablets contain minocycline, an antibiotic commonly used to treat various skin conditions, including acne and rosacea. While it may help alleviate scalp itching, it's essential to address the underlying cause of the itching. Why itching returns after stopping the medication: The itching may return after stopping the medication due to: 1. Underlying condition: The root cause of the itching, such as dandruff, eczema, or psoriasis, may still be present. 2. Dependence on the medication: Your body may have become accustomed to the medication, leading to a rebound effect when it's stopped. 3. Hormonal or environmental factors: Hormonal fluctuations, stress, or environmental changes can trigger itching.
