I have had pain in my wrist for a year. I have had two cortisone injections. The most recent was about three months ago. The area where my wrist hurts is now discolored paler than the rest and there is s scab that keeps getting larger and has only been on my wrist for about two to three weeks. The scab is not from or on the ppint of injection. Could this be a major issue?
