Are Kenalog Injections Effects Permanent?

MWRMay 5, 2009
I recently had Kenalog injections on my face to treat Alopecia Barbae. I am noticing some hair growing back, but more than that, I'm also noticing some small pits, or dents. I am very concerned if these are going to be permanen. Will they go away?
