Are fillers the only option for atrophy caused by a steroid shot?

Asked By:corky91 in Atlanta, GA

I had several pimples, one cystic and two smaller injected with hydrocortisone at my dermatologist. It is a week later and I am starting to get some atrophy at two of the spots. Is this likely to get worse as time goes on? Do fillers always work to correct the problem? And is there anything else to do other than fillers and time which will correct the issue? Thankyou
