About two weak ago i went to the Dermatologist about my Acne. He gave me a cortisone shot with out advising me of the side effects, which was indention. But the indentations are very superficial. Usually In the forum they say the indentation can lift up after a few weeks to a year .He also gave me a prescrption for tretinoin but i doubt that cause the indentations. Then yesterday I got a light chemical peel will that ruin the healing of the cortisone atrophy? No side effects from the peel . it was very light superficial but would that effect the atrophy?

I doubt a light chemical peel will effect your healing. Please do not use any chemical peel again or tretinorin while healing this. I would use a Chinese cupping device to lift it a few times a day and see if that helps. I would also have your derm do saline injections, this works for some people. Finally I would use HA filler with subcision if all else fails. IT does heal - in some, but takes forever.
