What Is a Cortisone Shot for Acne?
A cortisone shot (intralesional corticosteroid injection) is a small amount of diluted anti-inflammatory medication injected directly into a:
-
Cyst
-
Nodule
-
Large inflamed pimple
-
Painful under-the-skin breakout
This rapidly reduces swelling, redness, and tenderness.
How Fast Does a Cortisone Injection Work?
Most patients notice:
-
Visible flattening within 24–48 hours
-
Reduced pain within hours
-
Faster healing
-
Lower risk of prolonged inflammation
For many patients, this prevents a cyst from lingering for weeks.
