Asked By:jtheragene

I have not seen any improvement. i was told it will take a few months but its been 2 months and 1/2 but no signs of starting improvement. im scared that this is permanent. the dermatologist told me had we not done the injections it would be likely that the acne keloidalis would still be present. will the color fully regain or is this my fate?
