A member asked:
Is it safe to inject cortisone on a acne cyst located on the nose that was previously operated on (rhinoplasty) ?

Yes: You having previous rhinoplasty on your nose does not increase the risk of the procedure.

Nasal cortisone shot: Injecting cortisone for an acne cyst on the nose is safe after rhinoplasty, as long as you have healed sufficiently. Cortisone concentrations for acne injections are typically low, so that the risk of complications such as skin atrophy are minimized. If your dermatologist has any doubt about the safety of the injection, he should consult with your rhinoplasty surgeon before injecting.

Cyst on nose: These cyst can be injected but it isn't wise to do that in the early postoperative period. Discuss this issue with your surgeon.
