Subcutaneous injection has resulted in compartment syndrome and the need for fasciotomy 10,13. In particular, WD-40 ™ subcutaneous exposure is a rare occurrence, yet small volume injection (0.5 mL) has been associated with significant local skin reaction with cellulitis and profound leukocytosis as observed in our cases 15…”

“…It has also been associated with multi-organ dysfunction and with renal and hepatic involvement 12. Local injection site reactions occur and can result in cellulitis, fat necrosis, and abscess formation, which tend to be sterile 4,13,14. Subcutaneous injection has resulted in compartment syndrome and the need for fasciotomy 10,13.…”
