Core Tip	Intramuscular corticosteroid injection may cause adverse effects such as dermal and/or subcutaneous atrophy, alopecia, hypopigmentation, and hyperpigmentation. Although cutaneous atrophy can spontaneously resolve, several treatment options have been suggested for this condition. Here, we report a case of corticosteroid injections induced lipoatrophy treated with autologous whole blood (AWB) injection, which was unresponsive to fractional laser therapy. Close observation is the initial treatment of choice for steroid induced skin atrophy, however for patient in need of immediate cosmetic improvement, AWB injection may be a safe and cost-effective solution for treatment.
