Can Steroid Injection Cause Itchy And Red Blisters On The Arm?
I keep getting massive red bumps one arm that are very itchy, red, warm to touch and leaking clear fluids. They are all forming in clusters around each other. I had a steroid shot in my elbow a week ago. Could this be related, like an allergic reaction to the steroid?

If the red area is about where you received the injection,it may be an skin infection (cellulitis).lIt is a frequent complication of injections.Antibiotics as Ciprofloxacin or Cloxacillin are effective in treating Cellulitis.
