Abstract
Intralesional corticosteroid injections are frequently used to treat various musculoskeletal and dermatologic conditions, including keloid scarring. While a number of adverse events may be associated with these injections, hypopigmentation without atrophy is rare. We report a case of a pediatric patient with temporary cutaneous hypopigmentation without atrophy following intralesional corticosteroid injection in a keloid scar.Entities:
