I am a 44-yr old woman. I went to my dermatologist for treatment of what I thought was an acne cyst on my chin. After 3 injections of Kenalog, and one month after the last one, I am left with atrophy; a severe 'dent' in my chin. I'm wondering if it will go away or if its permanent. I am going to seek legal advice!!!

I'm a physician. Usually Kenalog injections can be avoided and oral steroids used like prednisone. The local dimpling effect may occur if the injection is too shallow, actually there is a temporary "disolving" of the subcutaneous tissue, the muscle and joints are not damaged. It is usually viewed as a "cosmetic" adverse effect. The Kenalog injections was primarily designed for joint injection and the kenalog or similar depo form stays active in the joint for a few weeks. All steroid medications can cause irritability and this is usually temporary for a few days. Steroids can cause muscle weakness- this is usually associated with high doses for prolonged use like being on prednisone for 3 or 4 months. Steroids can have an adverse effect on menstruation, but this is usually associated with chronic use. The most serious problems with the steroids result in bone weakness(osteoporosis) and serious damage to joints like the back and hip. Steroids can also result in weight gain, diabetes, high blood pressure and cataract formation. I don't think Kenalog is any different than other steroids such as Medrol or Prednisone in terms of the side effect profile. These are dangerous medications that can also be very helpful in saving lives and diminishing pain.

I was also on advair and I contracted alopecia universalis. I lost ALL my hair. I am sure there is a connection between these side effects and ADVAIR!! By the way. I stopped taking any steroid inhalers, and my breathing is better. What does that say?? Some of my hair has also started growing back since I stopped the steroid inhalers. Not much, but why is it growing now? This is a very devastating side effect, and I think there should be some legal action taken here. My life performing on stage has been ruined. My image shot. Now, i wasn't a "star", but still, I really can't enjoy performing anymore.

ON APRIL 14, 2003 MY WIFE WENT TO A DOCTORAND HE GAVE HER SOME LEVAQUIN FOR AN EAR INFECTION. SHE TOOK THE MEDICINE FOR SEVEN DAYS AND STOPPED. SHE BEGAN TO SLEEP ALOT BUT STILL GOT UP EVERYDAY AND WENT TO WORK (SHE'S AN RN). SHE ALSO ON THE SEVENTH DAY HAD JAONAS OR THE COLOR ORANGE OF THE EYES. SHE WENT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM ON THE 24TH AND TO A LIVER SPECIALIST ON THE NEXT DAY 25TH AND NEEDED A TRANSPLANT LIVER ON THE NIGHT OF THE 25TH AND DIED ON THE 27TH AT 5AM. LEAVING HER HUSBAN AND TWO CHILDREN 7 AND 8 YEARS OLD WE WISHED THE DOCTOR WOULD HAVE EXAMINED HER BEFORE GIVEN HER 500MG OF LEVAQUIN.

PS.....NEED LEGAL ADVICE.
