Are Steroid Injections for Keloid Scars Painful?
I read somewhere that it is painful to get steroid injections to treat keloids and sometimes it burns. Is this true?
Reducing Pain of Keloid Injections
Thank you for your question. As with all injections, steroid injections for the treatment of keloids can be painful. In our San Francisco Bay Area Practice we combine our steroid injections with lidocaine (numbing medication) to decrease the discomfort for our patients. For those who are extra sensitive to injections a topical numbing medication may be used in addition. I hope this helps.
