toomuch 1 Share Posted November 10, 2004 It very likely could fill up. If not, it will probably get better.I had the same experience a year ago. I got a few cortisone shots that left scars. But my derm was really unskilled. The scars the derm left are the worst ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

toomuch 1 Share Posted November 10, 2004 CAn you rate what percentage did your scars fill-up? are there any improvements after 3 months or it stays the same?← Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Violet 1 Share Posted November 11, 2004 My experience with cortisone injections is that the dents popped back up when I got the shots when I was in my teens and very early 20's by mid 20's when I got the shots the dents would not pop back up any more so when I got an injection and it left a dent it stayed. Now saline injections are helping those dents. See my post on this board on saline injections. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dave666 0 Share Posted November 11, 2004 So how long did your cysts or scarring take to level out after you had cortisone shots?I had a lump on my forehead (raised scar tissue) injected with a steriod that i believe was cortisone or similar and my derm said it would take about a month to level out, does this sound correct?

cc123 2 Share Posted November 11, 2004 I have had a few cortisone injections, and although in all cases what I got injected was not extremely large (just stubborn) they completely leveled out after about 3-5 days.Also, the first shot I got did leave a dent. It was by an OLD derm and I'm not even sure he could see what I was taking about, in any case it was my fault because there was really nothing there, I just thought a pimple was coming...most derms would never have injected that for me. Anyhow, this was about 2 years ago. After a few months it was barely noticeable, but the area to this day is still a little dark and every once in a while I can see it (although, like I said, it is still barely noticeable).
