Kenalog and stress

There is hope for those of you with an indentation! I had an injection for severe excema, I was literally scratching my eyes out. I received a Kenalog Injection in Oct/Nov, by January I had a golf-ball sized indentation on my right bum cheek. I was devastated! It was quite noticeable, even in clothing, as I am quite petite. I was given little hope from my dermatologist, he had only seen it twice before, one corrected itself, the other still had a dent. After a year I guess, I decided to take experiment, I increased my intake of Omega Fatty Acids, and Protein. And since it was it is fat that has wasted, I tried not to excercise my glutes. Within only a couple of months I noticed a huge difference.
I don't know if it was diet, or just the waiting it out, but my dent is almost completely gone. If you've had this same reaction, try not to stress out there .... there is hope!

My plastic surgeon has been injecting my keloid/hypertrophic scar with Kenalog every three weeks. I began my normal, regular menstrual period on 3/7/05. On 3/17/05 I had my second injection. I started having irregular menstrual bleeding on 3/21/05 that lasted over two weeks, which never stopped before my "regular" period began. When it did begin, it was extremely heavy and had a large amount of clots. During the same time, the lower lid of my right eye began twitching CONSTANTLY. This symptom lasted for over two weeks as well. My regular doctor checked me out and said everything was fine...that it may have just been stress induced. Unfortunately for me, only after I had my third injection (today) did I question a possible link between my symptoms and the Kenalog injections (10 to 20 mg each time). My plastic surgeon claims that this is a very slim possibility/rare but my pharmacist said that it is highly likely. If you are a female, I'd definitely look into this more before you proceed. I think I'd rather have a hideous Keloid scar than a never-ending menstrual cycle.

I had received Kenalog shots twice before for some stress-induced cystic acne on my forehead without any adverse affects. Last week I received two shots in the forehead from a new doc and seven days later was left with two discolored indentions.The only thing I can think of that was different between this treatment and the old is that my old doctor injected small amounts all around this cysts and the new doctor put full shots right into one spot.I am getting married in two months...reason for the stress and reason for the treament. I am very upset about this. I would have just waited patiently for the lumps to go away rather than be scarred like this.
