Intralesional corticosteroid injection is a treatment option that we offer at the SkinLab for severe, inflammatory acne cysts. A corticosteroid is injected directly into the cyst to reduce inflammation and speed up the healing process.
This procedure can be used to treat large, painful, and inflamed acne cysts that are not responding well to other acne treatments like topical medications. Most people experience a significant reduction in swelling and pain within a day or so of the injection.
