1. Is delayed onset nodules (DONs) a diagnosis?
Correct answer: B) No
DONs is not a diagnosis. It describes the nodules that occur post hyaluronic acid (HA) filler treatment.
2. Hyaluronidase can be used to dissolve non-inflammatory nodules, if hyaluronic acid filler is used.
Correct answer: A) True
As the nodules are not associated with signs of inflammation – such as erythema and swelling – hyaluronidase can be used.
3. What should be avoided when managing an infection?
Correct answer: B) Massage
Massage should be avoided when managing an infection as it can mechanically spread the infection.
4. Why should immediate hyaluronidase treatment be avoided with inflammatory nodules?
Correct answer: C) It can spread infection
This should be avoided until after the initial treatment for infection. Hyaluronidase breaks down local tissue and can spread infection.
