Do Kenalog Shots Cause Dark Circles?
Question: Do kenalog shots cause dark circles under the eyes?
Brief Answer:
not known side effect unless applied in area
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Kenalog is not normally associated with dark eyes unless it was applied in this area.
Kenalog can potentially cause hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin) in some persons, (though can cause the opposite in others) so it is possible that when applied in a particular area, it can potentially cause darkening.
The most common causes of dark circles are:(1) fatigue
(2)allergies primarily because of rubbing the eyes
(3)hereditary
(4)sun exposure
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
