I got the Kenalog shot in my wrist to treat tendinitis. The area turned white and noticed my wrist bone (what I thought) was sticking out. Went to a dermatologist and she said that one of the side effects of the shot is that it turns the skin white if it's too close to the top of the skin. Another side effect which I think you all are referring to (indentation) is that it eats away the fat in the area. That's why my bone was sticking out. Couple of months after that, it was fine. I've just recently got the shot in my knees and my doctor was trying to make sure he went deep enough away from my skin. It hurt like hell but it's been almost a month and haven't seen or noticed any of those side effects as of yet.

hawaiian, did the white go away as well as the loss of fat? I have the white spots as well and it's been 3 weeks since my shot. Just wondering how long it took your whiteness to go away.
