What Causes Darker Red Dots With Itchiness At The Sight Of Steroid Injection?
I have been having pain in my 2 middle toes and below them at the ball of my foot. I had an mri and it showed fluid. I got a steroid injection on Jan 17th 2014. On March 19th I went to the Bay. I now have a redish area at the sight of the injection, it feels raw and raised and darker red dots and white scaly skin in areas and is a little itchy but hurts to scratch because of the raw feeling. Do you have any thoughts?

Hi,
It can be due to minor inflammation at the site of injection.
Nothing much to worry and it will settle by itself.
You can apply warm compresses for symptomatic relief.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
