Question 1

why have i lost skin pigment where i had a cortisone injection in my wrist?

Accepted Answer

Side effect: Skin discoloration is a common side effect of cortisone injections.

Question 2

hyper sensitive skin on whole body for 3 months following cortisone injection in leg. blood work normal. skin hurt even if not in contact with cloths?

Accepted Answer

Anxiety: Please modify our medication taking. I suggest you take celexa, (citalopram) if you do not take it yet, starting with 10 mg twice a day and increase to 20 mg twice per day.  Celexa (citalopram) is very good on anxiety control and improving pain tolerance. By the way, you should stop short acting narcotics. The more narcotics use, the more problem will be.

Question 3

se asian female 30+ had cortisone injection into a cystic acne under skin on face 3 days ago.bump is raised more than before but doesn't look red hot or infected.i thought cortisone normaly shrinks the cyst?  is this normal,or is more
time needed?

Accepted Answer

: It will look bigger initially because the cortisone is fluid-so, fluid got injected and this will raise the lesion initially. Once the cortisone gets absorbed by the body, hopefully it will decrease the acne. Follow up with your doctor right away if it begins to look infected-red, warm to touch, pus coming out, etc. Best of luck to you!

Question 4

i started off feeling sick with a tight chest, dry cough, head blocked etc. went to doc and she gave me antibiotics, cortisone injection, acc200. had some wheezing in my chest. today i have noticed red spots on my body?

Accepted Answer

Possible allergic...: Red spots on the body with new medications could indicate possible allergic reaction. Need a Face to Face physical evaluation . So best to go back to the prescribing doctor soonest

Question 5

ive used hydrocortisone cream and retinol cream for hyperpigmentation on my penis head now im having burning sensation and tingling. this has lasted four months but i only used it four seven days did i cause nerve damage to my penis.

Accepted Answer

Retinol cream: You may have used the retinol cream for a few days but the after effects of burning can last for several weeks.Fortunately, you did not cause any permanent damage to your penis

Question 6

what occurs if a cortisone injection does not work?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: The injection was not positioned correctly or that the issue is beyond response to cortisone.

Question 7

doctors, do you think i can die from a cortisone injection?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: You possibly could die from a cortisone injection if you are truly allergic to cortisone and given a sufficient dose, but death related to a single cortisone injection for a healthy person with no known allergy to cortisone would be highly unlikely.

Question 8

can cortisone injection cause shingles?

Accepted Answer

No: Why ask? Do you have shingles? If so, do you have serious underlying disease? Have you been treated? Any transplants, radiation, or chemotherapy? Your age? Details of any symptoms or skin lesions?

Question 9

Accepted Answer

That: Pain is coming from ligament, from bursa, or there is arthritis on the joint, or issues of pronation or supination.

Question 10
