Intralesional therapy for Scars, Cysts and Alopecia

Intralesional therapy for scars involves the injection of medication directly into a scar to improve its appearance and reduce symptoms. This technique is commonly used for hypertrophic scars and keloids, which are types of raised and thickened scars that can develop after injury or surgery. The injected medications aim to modify the scar tissue, reducing its size, thickness, and redness.

Intralesional therapy for cysts involves the injection of medication directly into the cyst to reduce inflammation, promote healing, and, in some cases, decrease the size of the cyst. This approach is commonly used for certain types of cysts, such as acne cysts, epidermoid cysts, and inflamed sebaceous cysts. The injected medication may vary depending on the nature of the cyst and the desired therapeutic effect.

 

Intralesional therapy is a treatment approach used for certain types of alopecia, particularly for localized forms such as alopecia areata. Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition that causes hair loss in small, round patches on the scalp or other areas of the body. Intralesional therapy involves injecting medications directly into the affected areas to stimulate hair regrowth and modulate the immune response.
