I will be getting a second kenalog injection for an acne cyst.
I'm concerned about getting a "dent" from having two injections within a month.
My question is what causes the dent from forming - too much kenalog or not having the kenalog diluted enough?
Thank you.

 Hello,Steroids are known to induce atrophy and lightening of the skin especially when injected.
The reason for injecting locally is to reduce systemic side effects which could be more severe and disturbing.Also the steroid stays there for some time giving localises relief.
Minimal atrophy is sometimes seen,but in some cases become persistent.
It would be prudent,therefore to report the findings to your physician who would determine whether you would need more doses.
Best wishes.
