I just got back from the doctor's office to examine the mysterious "dent" in my left buttocks. He didn't know what it was but I just googled the problem and confirmed it is from a Kenalog injection on 10/29/08. At Christmas time I just noticed rough looking skin but in the last couple of weeks I noticed the the "dent" was getting larger. I cannot believe the number of side effects for this drug. I was given the injection by my allergist for inflamed sinuses. What a price to pay huh? I only read one article that said her "dent" was filling in after a year and one half. Is there anything that will stop the growing of this "dent"?

Around Thanksgiving of last year, I received a steroid shot for an upper respiratory infection. About two months later, I noticed an indentation at the injection site....which is right on the side of my arm, near my shoulder! I am not sure if it was a kenalog shot, but am going for a follow-up later this month.
I am very upset about this. I know it is 'only' cosmetic...no one has had any nerve damage have they? I am getting married later this year and (of course) my dress has no sleeves. I know I will be self-conscious about it.
Any news on what can help it go away?
Thanks!
