I just received a shot in my left buttock for skin inflammation. I am noticing less irritation and general relief from open skin lesions. This medication was injected due to an immune response similiar to an alergy. I highly recommend the injection as opposed to the topical form if you can't reach these affected areas or administer the topical for various reasons. The dermatologist said it is long-acting and works for about three weeks.
