  I would NOT recommend the kenalog injection, I ended up with long term complications, as if the lump was not bad enough. The steroid may damage healthy tissue too. I do not have a solution for you and do not know what the long term outcome is. I am still battling problems.

  I had New Plastic (Brazil)
  Artefill is much purer but also much more expensive.

  "The steroid must be injected
  strictly into the nodule while guiding the needle tip back
  and forth. Corticosteroids injected into the surrounding soft
  tissue, especially fat, may cause temporary or, rarely,
  permanent skin atrophy."
  
  I hope this helps. There are other recent papers if you google lemperle or pmma granuloma, ect..

  Barbara,
  Dr L said to make sure the kenalog stays inside the nodule (ie do not massage or over inject) as it will limit atrophy. I also feel Dr C is very kind and well intentioned. best wishes.
