Steroid synthesis
Occasionally, cystic acne and inflammation persist even after acne treatments. Acne cysts are tough and extremely excruciating. Injections of steroids can be used to treat this form of acne. According to many dermatologists, it is the last resort for patients with severe inflammation caused by the cyst walls. The dose is administered via injection directly into the epidermis and immediately reduces inflammation. This procedure should only be performed by a dermatologist with the appropriate credentials. Common adverse effects of steroid injections include disruption of collagen production in the injected area, resulting in pitted skin and acne scars.
