My son is 7 and has severe eczema. I took him to the dermatologist for treatment. The creams were not working so I asked about a cortisone shot. The doctor didn't tell me the side effects he just said they would give him half a dose and he would be fine. He had it done in October 07 and it's December 4 07. Just tonight as he was getting his pj's on I noticed a large indent on his right hip area.I thought it was a bruise, but when I got close it was discolored like grey and totally indented.I'm so upset that I'm sick to my stomach especially after reading everyones stories. He's seven with this on his body that will probably never go away. The shot cleared the really bad spots, but he's had a rash ever since he got the shot. I wish there was a lawyer that would do something. I was not warned ahead of time or else I would have never had him get it.
