Intralesional steroid therapy is a type of steroid injection that helps to treat a variety of skin conditions and diseases, with the steroid being injected below the skin. This treatment method is designed to reduce excess scar tissue, assist with hair growth in alopecia patients, and reduce inflammation within other skin diseases.
The main benefit of intralesional steroid therapy is that the steroid injection treats inflamed areas directly, as the steroid bypasses the barrier of thickened skin, also referred to as stratum corneum. Additionally, the therapy delivers the steroid in higher concentrations within a smaller amount of time, making the process swift and efficient.
The steroid injection can be repeated every 4-8 weeks, however this depends on the condition of the skin being treated, and to the extent of the patients condition. The time in which an individual should receive intralesional steroid therapy may vary, with the normal dose during this method of steroid injection shouldn’t usually be over 1-2 mL.
