A member asked:

What is the difference between steriod solution injection and steriod suspension injection.i had steriod solution injection in my keloid in shoulder biopsy scar.but for cystic acne dermatologist use a steriod suspension injection is this correct?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Both are a steroid that could otherwise be in solid form suspended in a liquid. Suspensions tend to be milkier than solutions, but the difference has no clinical importance. Different drug companies may use either label to describe the same product.
