steroid injection abscess
A steroid injection abscess is a localized infection that occurs after administering a steroid injection, typically for treating inflammation and pain. It forms when bacteria are introduced during the injection, leading to pus accumulation. Symptoms include pain, redness, swelling, and sometimes fever. Risk factors include improper aseptic techniques or multiple injections. Treatment involves antibiotics and possibly surgical drainage. Preventive measures are essential for minimizing occurrence.
