I received cortisone shots in my scalp for the purpose of hair growth but the shot left me with hyper pigmentation. Each area that the shot was applied has a white spot in the area making it visible where I received each shot. No hair has grown in those areas at all. I received the shot January 31, 2017. Today is May 16, 2017 and I have yet to see any improvement. Is there anything I can do to reverse what looks like blotch white spots on my scalp? It’s very noticeable because the spots are so much lighter than my regular complexion
Hi
Your hypopigmentation will return to its normal colour within few month on its own, however if you do not want to wait then I recommend Topical Corticosteroids
Good Luck
Hi..
It is Hypopigmentation and can take a few months to completely get resolved..
If it is not aesthetic you can consult a Dermatologist and get evaluated so that he can advise steroid ointments to be applied over the area.
But it has to be done with precaution as steroid ointments can cause skin thinning and other side effects..
Hope this helps..
It takes time,you can use betamethazone gel as a bteer solution ..
