Intralesional corticosteroids
Cysts can be treated either by intralesional triamcinolone84'85 or cryotherapy. Inflammatory nodules injected with corticosteroids show marked improvement within forty-eight hours . Triamcinolone acetonide at a dose of 2.5mg/ml is commonly administered using a 1 ml syringe with a 30-gauge needle. The total amount of medication injected into an individual lesion ranges from 0.025 to 0.1ml. The clinician should attempt to deliver the active medication directly into the middle of the inflammatory lesion, causing slight distension.
Medication that is placed too superficially or deeply may result in atrophy. Drainage often follows the injection of corticosteroid medications, which is a desirable sequela.
