What Causes Red Spots All Over Arms Post Cortisone Shot?

I recently had a cortisone injection in my recently replaced hip as I have come down with a nice case of bursitis. While the injection took care of the bursitis, I now have noticed red spots all over my arms. I am wondering if the injection is related to the spots, or what else could cause these spots to appear?

twice a day can improve it.
