I have Crohns disease for which I have recently had surgery. I am tapering off the steroids from 40mg starting last week to 0 over 8 weeks. And should begin Infliximab next week, then 2 weeks later, then 4 weeks, then 6 weeks eventually reaching maintenance dose of every 8 weeks. The skin around my mouth both below and above has really suffered from my illness. Lots of lines where 2 years ago there were none. I am 58 years old and had excellent skin for my age until Now.
I got juverderm ultra in my lips 4 weeks ago. The healing swelling went down in about 4 days and it flared up again 2 weeks later. I got a script for prednisone and it went down in 2 days. 2 weeks later again I got another flare up which has been quite painful and tingly feeling. Both times the swelling has happened, it has been one side of the bottom lip the first day, then the top lip one side the next day and the bottom goes down. What could this be? No itchiness or heat
I have been taking 25mg of Pedisolone daily for 2 weeks. I finished this one week ago. Is it safe to have 1ml cheek filler? Will there be any side affects or negative outcomes with the filler? Am I better off waiting until steroid is out of my system?
I had an occlusion after Juvederm In lips yesterday. By the time I got home I had dusky bottom lip and chin. I was told take aspirin, massage and heat. It seemed more pink after doing that. But by night it looked a lot worse so she said to update her in the morning.This morning it has not gotten worse but has not improved.She said she believes its no longer occluded.She prescribed me prednisone and told me to continue aspirin/heat. Am I still occluded? Im worried my skin is permanently damaged
