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?

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 allCan I use Anaboom shampoo to help with my dandruff? I'm really frustrated with my hair fall. Every time I wash my hair, it seems like I've got even more hair falling out. Is there anything I can do to control both the dandruff and hair fall?
I recommend using Nizoral shampoo for dandruff control. It contains ketoconazole which is effective against dandruff. Use it twice a week for 8 weeks. Additionally, you can use Minoxidil solution 5% for hair fall. Apply 1ml twice daily on the scalp.

I've been using Panderm NM cream for the past six months, and I'm really worried about stopping it. Can you help me figure out a way to stop using it without dealing with any side effects? I'm just not sure how to transition off it safely.
It is not recommended to abruptly stop using Panderm NM cream as it may lead to withdrawal effects or rebound symptoms. It is advisable to gradually taper off the use of this cream. You can start by reducing the frequency of application and then eventually stop using it. Additionally, you can switch to a milder steroid cream like Eumovate cream for a smoother transition. Consult your healthcare provider for a proper tapering schedule and further guidance.
