Furthermore, the side effects of steroid therapy include glucose intolerance and cushingoid features. None of our patients who received steroid therapy showed side effects. [doi.org]

This has been demonstrated to recur even after the drug has been switched to a different class of antipsychotic agents [ 21, 22 ]. [doi.org]

In patients with delayed wound healing or recurrence after excisional biopsy, or those patients who have had an incisional biopsy only, if prolactin level is normal, reexcision and oral prednisone usage may be curative. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

After excision, if there is no delayed wound healing, infection, or recurrence, further therapy is not needed for IGM. Limited surgical excisions may lead to recurrence [ 16 ]. [doi.org]

It is often initially misdiagnosed as furunculosis or cellulitis. Despite the painful, scarring, and debilitating nature of the disease, patients often have a delay in accurate diagnosis and treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In the other 2 cases of recurrence, a painful breast lump appeared after steroid therapy and was successfully treated with wide local excision. [doi.org]
