Asked By:bacoas_630 in Los Angeles, CA

I've got some bumps on my nose as mementos from previous bouts of cystic acne. There also seems to be a general light swelling which makes the skin orange-peely when closely with inspected, maybe from a previous fraxel round. I've heard that steriod injections can help reduce hypertrophic scarring. Would that be viable for my case? Anybody recommemded in LA? Background: mid 36 y/o asian male. Previously had fraxel
