Sculptra 3 weeks ago: lumps in the temple.

kevingAug 4, 2017
i got 1 vial of sculptra injected in cheeks and temples about 3 weeks back. I can feel 2 small lumps in my temple area. , they are not visible or maybe faintly visible. Do the lumps get worse once more collagen is stimulated? Should I be worried? is there anything i can do to get rid of them? Would it be safe to have sculptra injected in that area in the future?

The treatment an be either 5FU or Kenalog or both. I would also consider oral immunosuppresive drugs and maybe antibiotics, such as Biaxin. Surgical excision should be a last resort.
