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 really worried because I've been using MELAMET cream for a long time, but now I'm seeing some side effects on my face. I tried to stop using it, but after about 56 days, my skin got really dark and dry. I want to stop using this cream without it affecting my skin badly, but I'm not sure how to do it. Can you please help me figure out what to do?
It's important to discontinue the use of Melamet cream if you are experiencing side effects such as skin darkening and dryness. To help your skin recover, you can switch to a milder and safer alternative like Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser for cleansing and Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream for hydration. Additionally, you can use a sunscreen like Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen SPF 50 to protect your skin from further damage. Remember to apply the moisturizer at least twice a day and the sunscreen every morning before going out.

I've noticed that my face has gotten a lot darker because of tanning and it's not improving despite trying a bunch of home remedies. I'm really worried and looking for advice on how to get rid of this tan quickly. What do you recommend?
To help remove tan quickly, you can try using a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. You can also use a sunscreen with a high SPF to prevent further darkening of the skin. Additionally, you can consider using a vitamin C serum to help brighten the skin. Make sure to follow the instructions on the product packaging for best results.
