A member asked:

Would it be bad to use fluocinonide cream on pimples?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

VERY bad: This will relieve inflammation but also invite the bacteria that cause the pimples to spread deeper into the tissues. You are asking for an intractable deep-tissue bacterial infection. Please forgive my frankness. In our dysfunctional health care system, it's hard for people to get acne treated, though treatment is simple -- i start youngsters on topical clindamycin.
