| When giving cortisone shots near the skin, it is important to avoid long acting Cortisone which can weaken the skin and soft tissue for up to 9 months. Here a shot into the plantar fascia 2 months prior left some skin breakdown which will need some time to heal. Protective covering along with daily softening cream should be used until the skin becomes healthy again. |
