After going through a dozen derms and plastic surgeon consultations and treatments since Luly, for the past month (Since Aug 15) I have been getting bi weekly Triamcinolone shots and noticed my ashy black areas have brightened up and the stark white spots have gotten some golden brown color to them.
It's pretty neat, I was wondering if anyone else has tried this and how it turned out more longer term? For now I am feeling happier every day or week to week, I think something about the triamcinolone is kind of thinning out the ashy hyperpigmented areas like elbows, knees, nuckles, feet, buttocks, and at the same time blending some pigment into the stark white area. I don't know how it works but it is, finally after 5 years or trying to even out my skin after monobenzone, at least something is working so far. If anyone knows how this happened please share, my doctors said its not understood how it works exactly but its something about reducing inflammation of the melanocytes which is the main cause of disfigurement and hyperpigmentation after mono use
