Kenelog side edfect

My wife had limited Alopecia in her head; Family doctor injected KENELOG into the effected area but after one month a dent (depressed skull) appeared from that area till the eybrow and we are afraid it will develop further. He referred her to Dermatologist but it takes long time in Canada to get to the specilaist. Now She is waiting for 4 months.

Hello,
What your wife seems to be having is due to atrophy of the skin or muscle due to kenalog injection. It should gradually improve on its own in a few weeks but sometimes it may take even an year to fill. If the dents remain then collagen filling from a cosmetologist may be needed.

I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep us posted on how you are doing.
