Cortisone, a corticosteroid, is primarily used to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune response. While it can be beneficial for treating various skin conditions, prolonged use of cortisone can lead to skin thinning, which may increase the risk of skin damage and potentially skin cancer over time. However, the direct relationship between cortisone use and skin cancer risk remains complex and is influenced by factors such as dosage, duration of use, and individual patient characteristics. Always consult a healthcare professional regarding concerns about cortisone and skin health.
