Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Steroid injections doesn't cause spot in lungs.
Spot in your lungs may be due to some other pathology.
Detail history, proper examination should be done.
You didn't mention much about spot like size, margin,number etc. It may be due to many reasons like infection,tumour etc.
You need further examination and follow up.
Get well soon.
Take Care
