I've recently noticed these small black spots on my lower back, kind of the size of an inch coin. They're not itchy, but they do hurt a little when I press on them. Should I be worried about this?

Could be due to a condition called Tinea Versicolor, which is a fungal infection of the skin. I recommend using an antifungal medication such as Clotrimazole cream twice a day on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 2-4 weeks to treat the infection effectively. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid tight clothing to help with the healing process.

I've got a bit of a dilemma here. When I was a kid, I came down with typhoid, and my doctor had me take roxithromycin. Not long after, I noticed a little white spot on my skin and ever since then, I've avoided that medication. Now, I'm down with fever, cough, and a cold, and another doctor has prescribed me roxid 150. I'm really worried about taking it because of my past experience. Do you think it's safe for me to take, or should I consider an alternative? Would love some guidance here.
Roxid 150 is also a form of Roxithromycin, so it may not be suitable for you if you had a reaction to it in the past. An alternative antibiotic that can be considered for your current symptoms of fever, cough, and cold is Azithromycin. You can take Azithromycin 500mg once daily for 3 days. However, it is important to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication to ensure it is safe and appropriate for you.
