Are spider veins caused by kenalog injections permanent? (photo)

June 1, 2014
Asked By:gaby2012

My surgeon gave me kenalog injections to help with the hypertrophic scarring around my areolas. The scars flattened somewhat, but it spread to the surrounding skin and it is now very very thin and there are spider veins. It's been 6 months and there has been no improvement.
