When a reaction occurs at the site of a vesicant injection (e.g., in patients receiving cancer chemotherapy), close monitoring by a physician or the injection of local antidotes may be required. Reactions that result in infection or necrosis may need to be treated with antibiotics or with surgical dÃ©bridement.
Cortisone cream is a topical corticosteroid ointment that reduces inflammation to areas where applied. It is often used to topically treat arthritis pain from inflammation of the joints, as well as inflammation of the skin caused by various skin disorders and conditions. Available in over-the-counter strength, it is usually sold as hydrocortisone.
A Cortisone injection is a commonly prescribed treatment for people with chronic joint pain such as neck pain, low back pain, hip pain and shoulder pain. It is also commonly prescribed for nerve pain problems such as sciatica. Simply because a treatment is commonly prescribed; however, does not mean that it is safe.hey do not even treat the symptom of pain at all. Cortisone is a powerful anti-inflammatory drug that treats inflammation. Inflammation is an effect of an injury; it is not a cause of your problem or pain. Unless the underlying injury is corrected, the problem (and the pain) will not go away.
