You'll need to give us more information in order to be able to help.

What sort of machine are you using? IOS phone? Android phone? Tablet? Computer?

Have you restarted? Have you cleared your cache? What are you actually seeing? And where?

I'm on both Iso and Android. It's a drug company following me here on this site, the way you might follow someone you have same issues as.

Some nasty small-time person.

I have reported as an urgent issue to HealthUnlocked. Unfortunately, I have to do that by email and it can take some time for them to respond.

Simply being a follower of you doesn't give them any special access to you or your information. I urge you to just ignore for now - it isn't that they know about you as a person. But I do understand why it feels spooky and unpleasant.

Looking at this profile it appears to be a smalltime person or organisation trying to sell on tablets. Nothing to do with the actual manufacturer, and possibly selling fake medicines.

It's a shame that people try to use the forum to advertise, or find a possible loophole like using their own name and profile as adverts :(

That spamming person had, when I looked, started following 171 members. (Probably in several forums.)

HealthUnlocked will get rid of them - soon. But it could be Monday before they act.

For the time being, please just ignore them.
