Anyone Have Success With Saline Injections To Treat Scars Caused By Cortisone Shots?

I really wouldn't do anything until you give it some time to fill in. If it were permanent, I'd do it, but I feel like you're better off leaving the area alone and letting nature take its course. Some...

Please Make Me Feel Better...am I Going To Have A "dent" In My Face From Cortisone Shot?

Small, hard, skin-colored bumps on my chin

I squeezed a pimple on my cheek two days ago which I know is bad because it's always worse when they're in the cheek area. It was red and felt hard but I only saw an obvious open looking pore. When ...

Just a question, but if you have the cyst for a couple weeks and get a cortisone injection, is it more likely to have an indent afterwards as opposed to getting a "fresh" one injected? The one I have...
