Sink hole symptoms and conditions

When I was visiting him for something unrelated, my doctor pointed out the bags under my eyes and said he could eliminate them with a Kenalog injection. He did not mention any possible side effects. Worst case, he said, would be that the injection would have no effect.

That's the last time I consent to a treatment on trust without first researching it thoroughly myself. The injection did nothing for the bags, but did cause atrophy of my right cheek at the injection site, resulting in a severe indentation in the middle of my cheek which continued to get worse as the weeks went by.

Attempts to fill out the sink-hole have resulted in a lopsided appearance to my face, which is quite demoralizing.

What can we do? I have a huge purple looking sink hole on my buttock where I received a kenalog shot. I feels like mush undeneth. Nobody warned me of this side effect.

I am thankful to have found this website. It's answered a big question for me as to why my 5 month old son got a large (quarter-size) indentation on the side of his thigh. I thought it was due to a bruise. I took him to my pediatrician and he didn't know what was the cause. Now, it is all coming together. He had an upper respiratory infection in March 07 for which he received an injection...of Kenalog. This was not from his normal pediatrician. I can't believe that this would do this. I will definitely be reporting it to the FDA like some have suggested.
