Hi,
Any steroid or oil base injection is to be given deep intra muscular only.
If given superficial then there might be irritation due to injecting material can give this problem.
Apply ice pack 2-3 times a day for few days.
If there is pain and swelling, go for one antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicine course for 3-5 days.
Apply thrombophob cream locally.
Ok and ake care.
