Does liquid Clobetasol solution for LPP cause indentations in scalp or is that only caused from Kenalog injection treatments?

August 28, 2017
Asked By:yzh in Ontario, ON

I have many indentations on my scalp after years of steroid treatments (Kenalog injections as well as topicals including Betaderm, Lyderm and Clobetasol) for LPP. Are the indentations a result solely of the injections or are the topicals (in particular the Clobetasol) also causing or contributing to the development of these indentations? Thanks so much!
