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.

I've developed a skin rash that began on my inner thighs and now has spread to my shoulders, ankles, buttocks, and the side of my stomach. It started out red and has turned black, with little itchy bumps. Should I be worried about this, and what could be causing it?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal skin infection, such as tinea corporis (ringworm). I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected areas twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to keep the affected areas clean and dry, and avoid sharing towels or clothing to prevent spreading the infection.
