Lumps on my forehead after 1 year 4 months of Ellanse (Photo)

Nodules after ellanse are uncommon, but can be difficult to treat. Injection with corticosteroids and saline may be helpful. Surgical excision would provide a definitive treatment but would leave a scar and is not acceptable for most patients
