A member asked:

Is it ok to apply aczone the day after a cortisone injection to an inflamed nodule? i also put sunscreen on after.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No Concern: There's no concern applying it after a cortisone shot, however it will not help with the inflammation if that is your intended use. Aczone is indicated for acne and should only be applied to those areas where acne is occurring.
