The Place of Intralesional Steroid Therapy in Dermatology

Intralesional steroid therapy, particularly with triamcinolone acetonide, had a small but definite role in dermatology, being used for nail disorders, keloids, hypertrophic scars, cystic acne, and to promote hair regrowth in localized alopecia areata. It was also applicable in conditions like cutaneous lupus erythematosus and sarcoidosis, with potential for further trials in other conditions.
