sgupta 0 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I just came back from the derm. I had two painful, large papules forming on my left and right temples. I had never had a cortisone injection, and figured I would to try to nip them in the bud. However, I noticed the derm gave me the injections a little off-center, about 2-3 mm from the center of the actually pimples (like 2-3 mm). Is this normal? Will it effect the efficacy of the injections? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dsrfgsertwe 2 Share Posted January 31, 2009 that's how my derm injects my cysts and they're always gone within two days. maybe if you do it right in the center it creates a scar or something Quote Link to post Share on other sites
