Asked By:Joy1030 in Tampa, FL

I had a cortisone injection for a large pimple a couple months ago by a pa dermatologist that assured me I wouldn't be left with a scar. This was my first time trying this, I now have an indentation that I feel is in the worst area, it is extremely noticeable. There's also some discoloration I just want to know my options in how to fix this if I can.
