Hi, I have some cyst on my leg and was administered cortizone shots. What are side effects I can expect? How long is this therapy repeated?
Hi, when I had a big pimple or cyst on my neck, five months ago. The dermatologist was concerned about recent outbreaks and advised cortisone shots into the pimple or cyst on my neck. I should have never allowed that to be done, because I still have mark on the skin. I wasn’t told of this risk, and doctor considers it an esthetic question. I was told it would disappear in time, but anyway I am applying bleaching creams. Such reaction to cortisone shot happens from time to time, and I was that unlucky case. I will try some skin repair treatments based on antioxidants and calendula, to speed up healing process.
Where do you get cortisone shots?
How many cortizone shots can you have per year, or in a life? My doctor told me that I can only have 3 cortizone shots in my whole life, is this true or is he just trying to get me into surgery faster.
I have read that cortisone shots can weaken ligaments and soften cartilage. Is this so?
I want a cortisone shot in my face because I have a loose silicone in my cheeks. I know it will eat the silicone, so I'm looking for a doctor or someone who can do it in Atlanta. Can you help me?
