Glossary Intralesional Corticosteroids

medications injected into skin lesions to reduce inflammation

Intralesional Corticosteroids (IL Corticosteroids) are medications injected directly into a specific area of the skin or lesion to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune response. This treatment is commonly used for conditions like alopecia areata, keloids, and certain types of cysts, providing targeted relief with minimal systemic side effects.
