intralesional injection

Intralesional injection involves delivering medication directly into a skin lesion, such as a wart, mole, or cyst. This targeted approach allows the medication to act locally within the affected tissue, often increasing effectiveness and reducing side effects elsewhere in the body. The procedure typically uses a fine needle to carefully inject the substance beneath the skin's surface at the problem site. It’s commonly used to treat conditions that are localized and resistant to topical treatments, providing a focused therapy that can promote healing or shrink abnormal tissue directly at the source.
