Possibly: As this benign condition is due to small amounts of fat pushing the one of the deeper skin layers known as the dermis, resultant atrophy might be a possible effect. Steroids that are applied topically or injected into affected areas is a common treatment. But this may not be indicated if atrophy is present. A dermatologist should be consulted.
