A member asked:
I had cortisteroids injected intralesionally. how long will it stay inside and work to reduce inflammation in my hypertrophic scar? 2 weeks? a month?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
3-4 weeks: Several treatment sessions which are generally about a month apart are often suggested for steroid treatments of this nature. I wish you well with your health!
