Local corticosteroid injections for interdigital neuromas can cause skin atrophy and hyperpigmentation. Physicians should use proper technique and dosage to minimize these potential side effects.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Podiatry
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Interdigital neuroma is a common foot condition.
  • Local corticosteroid injections are a treatment option for interdigital neuroma.
  • Adverse effects of corticosteroid injections can occur.

Observation:

  • A patient developed hyperpigmentation, skin thinning, and subcutaneous fat atrophy after a corticosteroid injection for interdigital neuroma.
  • These side effects appeared 2-3 weeks post-injection at the injection site.

Findings:

  • The occurrence of skin side effects is linked to steroid preparation solubility, dosage, and injection depth.
  • Deep injection technique is crucial to prevent cortisone solution leakage into subcutaneous tissue.

Implications:

  • Physicians must be aware of steroid properties and recommended dosages for treating interdigital neuromas.
  • Informed consent regarding potential skin atrophy and pigmentation changes is essential for patients undergoing this treatment.
