No, no rash developed after taking the antifungal injection it was just a burning sensation that about 30 minutes later disappeared. I wanted to know if that is normal and if I should continue taking the antifungal injections. Im supposed to take them two more times.

I feel.no pain or anything but I was just wo if this red discharge is normal

Last night was my last injection and the discharge is not a lott

I should also add that I have just stopped taking my birth control pills several days ago. So could the blood droppings be a side effect of that?

Brief Answer:
Yes! It may be the cause.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Sorry!for the delay.
Yes! this red discharge may be a withdrawal bleeding of oral contraceptive in that situation you should wait and watch for your bleeding.
If it is so then bleeding will stop automatically and if it continues then you may required gynaecologist consultation to see the cause of bleeding.
One thing I want to add here that your fungal infection may be because of oral pills so please you should not take these pills without consulting your treating doctor.
I hope this will help you, if you have more queries please ask, I will be happy to help you.
If you want to close the discussion then please accept my answer and rate it.
Good luck.
