Do dents (atrophy) caused by steriod injections ever get better/go away?

December 19, 2013
Asked By:Rouge33

I had steriod injections twice for a mild bald patch, last shot being in May 2013. After having these shot i have now got a dent (sunk in skin) on my hairline/forehead. Will my skin ever go back to normal? Will the dent and lightening of my skin ever get better? The injections have everything worse than what it was before. My self esteem has been affected by these side effects. Can anyone please give me some advice?
