Intralesional steroid injection is a treatment method frequently used to resolve a large number of orthopedic, rheumatological, dermatological, and neurological disorders. Although this treatment is very effective, it is not without possible side effects, both systemic and local, among which we can mention pain, bleeding, ulceration, atrophy, pigmentary changes, calcification, secondary infections, formation of granulomas, allergic reactions and, in very rare cases, the development of linear atrophy, and hypopigmentation. Here, we present a case of frontal linear skin atrophy after intralesional steroid injection for the treatment of alopecia areata (AA) in a 29 year-old patient, successfully treated with a hyaluronic acid filler.
病灶内类固醇注射是一种常用于解决大量骨科、风湿科、皮肤科和神经科疾病的治疗方法。尽管这种治疗非常有效,但并非没有可能的副作用,包括全身和局部的副作用,其中我们可以提到疼痛、出血、溃疡、萎缩、色素改变、钙化、继发感染、肉芽肿形成、过敏反应,在极少数情况下,还会出现线性萎缩和色素减退。在这里,我们报告了一例 29 岁患者因斑秃(AA)接受病灶内类固醇注射治疗后出现额部线性皮肤萎缩的病例,使用透明质酸填充物成功治疗。
