Maxicortan, which contains hydrocortisone, is not recommended for an initial abscess when injected into the buttocks. The use of corticosteroids in these situations can delay healing and increase the risk of complications such as secondary infections.
Abscesses typically require medical intervention, such as drainage. If you notice an abscess on the buttock, I encourage you to consult a doctor to assess the condition and possible drainage, which is crucial for effective treatment.
If you have doubts about this situation, it is always worth consulting a doctor who can provide more personalized advice. If you are unable to consult your doctor, you can use the teleconsultation here:
