What Causes A Skin Rash After Having Kenalog Shot?

I have been getting kenalog injections in my knee for arthritis & a bone on bone situation. I have begun to have what looks like petechiae, as described in side effects, from this drug. Is it safe to continue to get these injections? My email is YYYY@YYYY

Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to a side effect of the injections.

I recommend using daily Benadryl.

I also recommend using Calmine lotion for local application.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
