Do Steroid Injections Lead To Break Outs?
I have been diagnosed with peptostreptococcus infection. The wound is on my upper thigh. I have had steroid shots in my back, and each time, after a few weeks, I have broke out. The doctor lanced the wounds, and had them tested. Could the shots in my back be the issue? Thank you

Hello,
It is unrelated to a steroid shots. Do proper wound care and antibiotics for wound healing.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
