I have this also and kn tops of shoulda ( fyi am Caucasian female apparently uncommon in my skin type) had 2 year course of cortisoid injections to no avail.. ample scarring on ears and sholders still. Swelling occured for me after injections but subsided about 2 days after with rederning and bruising. Hope that helps, does cause change in pigment over time and shap changes.
