Will 1% hydro cortisone cream on an aggravated injection site diminish my Sculptra results?

February 27, 2014
Asked By:R Nel in Portland, OR

I used over the counter hydro cortisone cream on an aggravated injection site for 14 days after Sculptra treatment. I started using it the second week after treament. The cream was recommended by my doctor's office. The irritated injection site is cleared up. I only used tiny amounts per day. Will the hydro cortisone have any negative effects on the Sculptra results.
