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 accidentally used V Wash on my face but quickly washed it off after about 10 seconds. Should I be worried about any reactions or anything?
It is important to note that V Wash is a vaginal wash and is not intended for use on the face. If you have washed it off your face immediately after realizing the mistake, the risk of any significant harm is low. However, it is possible that it may have caused some irritation or dryness to your facial skin. To help soothe any potential irritation, you can apply a gentle moisturizer to your face. Additionally, if you experience any redness, itching, or discomfort that persists or worsens, it would be advisable to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with a skin rash that's red and slightly inflamed on my inner thigh, and it's getting a bit annoying. I decided to try Betadine Ointment, but I'm not exactly sure how often I should be applying it or how long I should keep using it. Can you give me some advice on that?
You can apply Betadine Ointment on the affected area 1-2 times daily. Make sure to clean the area before each application. You can continue using Betadine Ointment for up to 7 days, or as directed by your healthcare provider.
