Hello
Thanks for the query.
It is called as steroid induced atrophy.
It is one of the commonest side effects of steroid injection.
Aloevera gel helps yo some extent.
If you don't get any relief with that fat transfer might be required.
In this fat will be taken out from your belly and transferred to depressed area.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
