(or should i just use retin-a on it every night.....aghhhhhhhh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idugapony 0 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 has it filled in by now? i am suffering from the same adverse effects of a cortisone shot... oh don't worry it leveled out--but it took a little bit of time. i just put a LOT of tazorac and/or my retin-a cream (tretin-x). for a couple weeks it looked like it was never going to go away, but it just eventually did. put topicals on it to help it exfoliate, it sounds weird because the skin is sinking in, but it helps a lot! i don't know when i wrote that last post, but it's probably been a good 3 weeks since it's been filled in, if that helps. good luck :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
