Localized corticosteroid injections are sometimes considered for the treatment of inflamed acne lesions. Individuals seeking such treatment often search for nearby providers experienced in administering these injections. This approach targets individual acne cysts or nodules, delivering the medication directly to the affected area.
The advantage of this targeted treatment lies in its ability to rapidly reduce inflammation and promote faster healing of individual acne lesions. Historically, dermatologists have utilized intralesional corticosteroids to address severe or persistent acne that doesn’t respond well to topical or oral medications. The focused delivery minimizes systemic exposure to the corticosteroid.
