A member asked:
I have hs and diabetes. if i receive a kenalog injection in my boil can it raise my blood sugar ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The small amount of steroid injected into the boil has little if any effect on the body as a whole. It does its work and is metabolized/broken down locally. It differs from taking oral steroids for another reason.
