A member asked:
Is it safe to take aspirin orally to reduce cystic acne inflammation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but...: It won't work. Topical salicylates including Aspirin have been used for mild acne, but cystic acne is a serious, non-lifestyle-related chronic disease that is a grave professional and personal liability and it needs to be addressed by a competent physician, usually a dermatologist who an manage Isotretinoin therapy.
