Follow-up of lipoatrophic sites, before, during, and after prednisone therapy. Series of photographs showing lipoatrophic areas on both sides of the umbilicus (upper panel: left side, lower panel: right side). Photographs as of March 2009 and April 2009 were taken before prednisone therapy. In April 2009, a biopsy was taken from the right side, which healed uneventfully, see lower panel. Low-dose oral prednisone was administered from the last week of June 2009 until March 2010, and from May 2010 until June 2010. To be continued on Figure 2.
