Intralesional Steroid Injection

Intralesional steroid injection involves directly injecting a corticosteroid medication into a skin lesion or growth, such as a keloid, wart, or inflammation. This treatment helps reduce swelling, decrease inflammation, and flatten raised or enlarged skin areas by shrinking excess tissue. It is often performed in a doctor’s office using a fine needle, and multiple sessions may be needed for optimal results. The procedure is minimally invasive, usually well-tolerated, and can significantly improve the appearance and comfort of affected skin.
