Does indentation from steriod injections in scalp ever go away?

[Rouge33]

I had 2steriod (1in Feb & another in May) injections on my hairline as i noticed small bald patches but now i have a dent on my hairline/forhead right on the middle. Will this ever go away?my confidence has gone down cos of this.

Hi Rouge, I have read other people's posts about the problem of indentation after steroid injections. My derm has said he may give them to me in the future so I am keeping a keen lookout on what people are saying about them. I have read that the dents are supposed to go away after several months... however as I have not actually experienced this personally I can't say for sure. Hopefully someone that has already had these injections will reply to your post and can give you a personal account. What does your derm say about it? Good luck with your treatment and I hope the indentation resolves itself.

Thank you Seni, for your reply. I think your right i have to give it time to heal on its own. Its depressing & upsetting because it right where i can seen it which is hairline/forehead. And the hypopigmentation makes it more obvious. I just hope it all goes away with time. I've stopped the injections now as it didnt work for me & it pointless & just made matters worse for me.

Did your dents and pigment ever improve after all these years? If so how long did it take to notice improvement. I'm going through this same battle right now.
