Scars Treatment: Q&A
Ask a QuestionKenalog Overdose for Scars - 40 Instead 10mg?
I have scar tissue yr after surgery near ear/jaw, 2 lumps each 1.2 cm2. My Dr took kenalog directly from vial (no dilution) and injected 0.25 mL total, 2 days ago. He first said 2.5 mg was injected, but I noticed this was Kenalog-40, not 10, and he realized the mistake & revised notes saying 10mg was injected. He gave no answer on what to do now (wait and see). Can saline be injected to dissolve the kenalog crystals or will this just spread it more? How likely is atrophy? Can I prevent it?
