Hi Dr, I would really appreciate if you could help me. I have developed lumb (reddish and swelling) on my butt after injecting a steroid. I think the injecting process dint go correctly and the fluid got stuck in the fatty area. Can you suggest the treatment or antibiotic for it please
Hi, Any steroid or oil base injection is to be given deep intro muscular only. If given superficial then there might be irritation due to injecting material can give this problem. Apply ice pack 2-3 times a day for few days. If there is pain and swelling, go for one antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicine course for 3-5 days. Apply thrombophob cream locally. Ok and AKE care.
