No, I cannot predict the future. Side effects of bleeding, infection, pain are not predictable. It also might not do anything. It is a steroid and this might increase sugar if you are diabetic. There are the risks mentioned. It may slowly over time decrease the size of scar. The side effects are not likely to occur and are not predictable but occur accidentally.
