How effective is cortisone injection for treating keloid scars?
The effectiveness of the cortisone injection can vary from person to person and depends on the size and severity of the scar. For some people, the injection can significantly reduce the size and appearance of the scar.
What are the adverse effects associated with corticosteroid injection in scars?
Although corticosteroid injections can be very effective in reducing keloid scars, they can also have side effects. These may include pain or bleeding at the injection site, and in rare cases, may lead to atrophy of the skin or the appearance of visible blood capillaries on the surface of the skin. Also, treatment is not always permanent – in some cases, keloid scars can return after treatment is finished.
