Question

I'm really worried because I got these cortisone injections on my face, even though it wasn't for cystic acne. The dermatologist injected on some pimples and some other areas, and now Im starting to notice some discoloration and mild atrophy. I'm really concerned it might get worse. I usually use a toner with lactic acid and citric acidis it okay to keep using it, or should I avoid certain products? Will my skin eventually get better? It just feels like my condition wasn't treated properly, and I'm anxious about what's happening.

I recommend reducing exfoliation and switching to more gentle, hydrating products while you wait for your skin to heal. If the issues persist or worsen, dont hesitate to follow up with your dermatologist for further advice.
