Take Allergy Shots Every Year On Butt Cheeks, Have White Dots On The Area, Increasing In Size, Sore And Warm To Touch. Cause?
I get a steriod shot each year for allergies. Always in the right butock cheek. I first noticed a small white dot 3 to 4 months ago and it is now getting bigger and is indenting into the fat or muscle, feels short of hollow. When I touch it it is sore and warmer than the rest of the area. I am very concerned what is going on.

steroids shots are not taken regularly
it can cause necrosis of skin which is not good
get allergy tests and go for sublingual immunotherapy instead of this shot treatment
