A member asked:

Had malaria 25 yrs ago 2 times,and suspected dle not diagnosed yet. is a cortisone injection for the itching of my bcg scar area in arm safe for me?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sure: Old malaria isn't exactly the sort of thing that will be exacerbated by cortisone. There may be a better Rx if that site is itchy, though.
