Asked By:sachinette10 in Freeport, NY

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?
