A great deal of force and effort is usually required tosuccessfully inject corticosteroids into a keloid.
A great deal of force and effort is usually required tosuccessfully inject corticosteroids into a keloid. Tomake the procedure easier, first spray the area with liquidnitrogen and wait for it to thaw.
