I had a kenalog injection in Sep of 2003 in my upper arm for an allergic rash. Two months later an indent appeared and gradually got worse until March 2004. Now in June, some of the muscle is growing back (its was just thin skin a bones for a while!). The fat doesn't appear to be growing back and the skin is scarred and discolored. I noticed some acne around it for a while and some dark hairs have grown around it (a few shades darker than my arm hair). I think that I will always have some small scarring and deformation, but at last it is healing! No doctors could tell me anything..just to wait it out. Also for a few months after the shot (5 months) I had periods with horrible cramps that were only about 20 days apart. I don't know if that was related, but I am back to normal now.
