Hello, Welcome to HCM,Human body may be allergic to any substance which is foreign to the immunsystem.But the symptoms what you are having is may be due to some other infection rather than allergy to cortisone injection which you taken for arthritis of knee.The rashes with oozing of the fluid may be due to fungal infection or it may be a eczema or contact dermatitis. This is what I can suspect with the medical history.Thank you.
