Steroid , the magic drug!!! ✨✨✨Even though steroid has a general bad reputation , when used judiciously it can do WONDERS. This 12- year -old visited me with a large ganglion on her left wrist ( first photo) . Per first line of treatment , I’d performed Intralesional Injection of Triamcinolone following aspiration and advised a second session 2 weeks later. Applied firm bandage and gave simple painkiller. She came today and the lesion has vanished ! (Second photo) I found no swelling on palpation and no other abnormalities. Patient was so happy that she didn’t have to be pricked again despite being numbed with local anaesthetics the last time. Usually , these take about 2-3 sessions for the ganglion to vanish but this was a first for me!
