I received an injection of triamcinolone acetonide 40 mg in my wrist as a treatment for a chronic carpel tunnel syndrome. A week after the injection appeared a large spot of hypopigmentation at the site of injection. I know that hypopigmentation is a side effect of steroids. I have a spare box of Latisse. Can i use it on the discolored patch?

I suggest you see an expert for evaluation. This can be treated with prp/progesterone, hair transplantation, latisse. The underlying issue needs to be determined first. Best, Dr. Emer.
Hello and thank you for your question. With the constant tugging, your eyelashes will most likely weaken which will cause them to fall off. The eye area is a very delicate area, so try to prevent any stress or wear and tear to the eyes as much as possible. Lattisse is a great solution for lash ...
Latisse is great but it is temporary in nature. So when you stop it, your eyelashes are likely to return to their previous appearance. Good luck!
