Can I wet the injection site after Diprophos injection and can I stay in the sun?

After the injection of Diprophos, the injection site can be gently washed, but it is not recommended to soak it for long periods of time to avoid irritation or infection. It is worth allowing the skin to heal well and avoiding intensive soaking, such as long baths or swimming.

When it comes to sun exposure, Diprophos contains corticosteroids, which can increase the skin's sensitivity to UV radiation, which can lead to phototoxic or photosensitized reactions. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid direct sunlight at the injection site and to use sunscreen, e.g. creams with high UVA and UVB filters, wear protective clothing and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun, especially in the first weeks after administration.
