  • Title: Corticosteroid injections into the hands and feet.
    Author: Broughton R.
    Journal: Cutis; 1984 Jun; 33(6):575-7. PubMed ID: 6744950.
    Abstract:
    Sixty-four patients who received corticosteroid injections into the hands and feet were followed up for a period of up to three years. Injections offer a safe, popular, limited advance in the treatment of chronic eczema and psoriasis in these areas. The periods of remission varied from a few weeks to several months. The concurrent use of topical treatment was reduced although most patients continued to use them. No subcutaneous atrophy was observed and no serious side effects occurred. Most patients were willing to receive the injections again.
