CYSTIC ACNE SHOTS
The shot, which is injected directly into an acne cyst or nodule, typically contains a small amount of a steroid, a powerful anti- inflammatory. Cysts and nodules may take weeks to resolve on their own. A steroid injection can reduce the swelling, redness and pain in 1-2 days. The shot is administered into the lesion and can significantly speed up the healing time for large cystic acne.
