Are Steroids The Answer?

No. Used steriods before this was an issue and think they may have been a contributor in our case. They didn't help with anything and seemed to just move the issue around.

Steroids are a dangerous drug too. I have had shots of cortisone, didn't do much!

For me it is a no. I have tried just as directed but it has always effected me negatively.

I've never tried steroid injections into my nods - again, I had psoriasis since the age of 8 or 9 and was on a lot of topical steroids, so I kind of shy away from them now.

That is the doctor's go to. I agree. Even cortisone scalp injections don't work
