A member asked:
Is a steroid shot for acne safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Provided the practitioner knows what he/she is doing. A tiny bit of glucocorticoid is injected into a massive lesion. A short course of systemic glucocorticoids may also be used for the flare in cystic acne at the start of treatment with isotretinoin. You need to know that all acne is manageable, though it cures itself only as you get older. Best wishes.
