I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Using too much kenalog-40 is not likely to cause serious problems. However, long term use of high doses can lead to thinning skin, easy bruising, changes in body fat (especially in your face, neck, back, and waist), increased acne or facial hair, menstrual problems, impotence, or loss of interest in sex let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
