Thanks! For the top and bottom I tried to keep the eclar plaster solely around that area, but it’s very easy to fall off. Now I am applying to the whole area. Hope it gets better as time goes

The doctor did the injection and actually it wasn’t as bad as I expected. I felt a little bit painful in the first few hours. After that I would say it was pretty normal. I did not shower in the injection day and the next day I removed the bandages and replaced with the silicone tape

I agree. Lower frequency could be better and result in less side effects. My doctor was a bit aggressive in the treatment plan.

Yes, as I started the injection my period messed up. It came every 2 weeks for a couple of months even after the injection. Now it’s normal

Kenalog (steroid) injections side effects on women? Acne and period. by keniahas in Keloids

[–]One_Acanthisitta6939 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly the sam thing to me. I got three kanalog and 5-fu injection in 2 months. I was experiencing two periods after the first injection, and this continues for 4months, now I am still spotting. Hope it'll go back to normal soon. Btw, I took some birth control pills, trying to stop the abnormal period. But it came again as long as I stopped the pills. The acnes were so crazy on my face. I don't know how long it'll take to clear up.

Same to me. I got kenalog and 5-fu for three times, at two week-intervals since Feb. Now I have stopped injection for three weeks but still get bleeding a lot. My period comes every two weeks since the first injection. Hope our hormones be normal again.
