What Causes Red Streaks Across The Back After Receiving A Cortisone Shot On The Shoulder?
I took a hot bath within 12 hours of a cortisone injection in my shoulder today. Once I got out i noticed red streaks like tiger stripes across my back, seemingly where the water level was as it rose. Is this a possibility or could the red streaks be something else? The streaks look like my skin is lightly torn almost.
