I too experienced an indentation from a kenalog shot. My experience is a little different though, because I received the shots on my face for acne. I received four shots and two out of the four depressed / indented. I was EXTREMELY depressed and felt hopeless after reading it would take 6 months to a year (or more) to have my skin gash-free. I stayed up for two days straight searching for some sort of help on the internet and found a medical article about something called saline infiltration. It is a relatively new procedure and was created by "one of the best dermatologists in the country". I was so desperate, that the next morning I drove to see him in La Jolla, Ca (I live in LA). I received shots in the problem areas. It is now two days later and my indents are about 80% better!! He told me to give it another couple of days to see complete restoration, and if not, said that one more treatment should make everything 100% normal again. Needless to say, I am thrilled!! I do not know if this will work for any of your situations (being that the dr. is a dermatologist and the shot was initially given for acne), but I thought I would share my great news and hopefully help at least one person out there dealing with this mess. Good luck to you all - I feel for your situations.

I went to my doctor for severe poison ivy that wouldn't stop itching. I received a Kenalog injection. That afternoon I thought the poison ivy was spreading, because the tops of my feet were covered in itchy red welts. The next morning, the backs of my hands were covered in the same welts. I am convinced these hives are from the injection, although my doctor doubts it.

After taking Kenalog at night time for transient mouth ulcers, I usually wake up the next morning with a migraine headache.

Four hours after injection .25mg, my face got very red and hot. The next morning the redness was across my chest. Also a very dry throat, difficulty sleeping, sweating at night, and dry lips.
