Steroid Injections for Targeted Relief and Healing

At Davis Dermatology, every injection is administered by Dr. Earlyn Noll, a board-certified dermatologist with advanced training in procedural care. We take a diagnostic-first approach, evaluating your skin or tissue condition thoroughly before recommending corticosteroid therapy. Serving patients in Davis and surrounding communities, our clinic offers safe, effective solutions for both acute flare-ups and chronic conditions.

Understanding Steroid Injections

Steroid injections, or intralesional corticosteroids, are anti-inflammatory medications delivered directly into areas of skin or soft tissue. They reduce swelling, redness, and irritation by suppressing the body’s inflammatory response.

Tailored Relief for Inflammation and Flare-Ups

Steroid injections at Davis Dermatology are used strategically to reduce inflammation, calm chronic skin conditions, and restore comfort, without systemic medication. This therapeutic option supports patients dealing with recurring dermatologic or autoimmune flare-ups as part of a whole-body wellness strategy. Steroid injections may treat the following concerns:

Cystic acne
Keloids and thickened scars
Psoriasis plaques or flares
Alopecia areata (patchy hair loss)
Eczema or dermatitis flares
Joint pain or musculoskeletal inflammation (non-aesthetic areas)
