Intralesional steroids
What Are Intralesional Steroids?
Intralesional steroids are a type of corticosteroid medication injected directly into a skin & hair lesion or specific area of inflammation. This targeted approach allows for a concentrated dose of the steroid to be delivered exactly where it’s needed, reducing inflammation and promoting healing more effectively than topical treatments alone.
How Do They Work?
Intralesional steroids work by reducing inflammation, suppressing the immune response, and decreasing the production of collagen, which can help flatten and soften raised scars. The steroid is injected into the middle layer of skin & hair, known as the dermis, where it exerts its effects on inflamed or abnormal tissues.
Conditions Treated with Intralesional Steroids
Intralesional steroids are used to treat a variety of dermatological conditions, including:
- Keloids and Hypertrophic Scars: Helps flatten and soften raised scars.
- Psoriasis: Reduces the thickness of plaques.
- Acne Cysts: Reduces inflammation and speeds up healing of large, painful cysts.
- Alopecia Areata: Stimulates hair growth by reducing inflammation around hair follicles.
- Lichen Planus: Reduces itching and the size of lesions.
The Procedure
The procedure is relatively simple and usually performed in a clinical setting:
- Assessment: The dermatologist will assess the lesion or area to determine the appropriate dose and injection site.
- Injection: A small amount of the steroid is injected directly into the lesion. The number of injections depends on the size and severity of the condition.
- Follow-up appointments may be necessary to monitor progress and determine if additional injections are required.
