TODO - colchicine; cutaneous microimplants; granulomas
TODO - Injectable cutaneous microimplants may occasionally cause either
persistent local irritation or late skin reactions in the form of
foreign body granulomas at the injected areas. Permanent elimination of
the latter is not easily achieved.
The skin of a female patient developed nodules along the treated sites
on her face a few months following the last session of intracutaneous
injections. Intralesional steroids offered temporary and incomplete
clearance. Colchicine was administered orally for better results.
