About Cortisone Shot
WHAT IT IS
A cortisone shot is an injection of corticosteroid medication into a targeted area to help reduce inflammation, swelling, or discomfort. It may be used for specific dermatologic concerns such as cystic acne, keloids, or dermatitis. Injections are administered directly into the affected area by a licensed provider and may lead to improvement in swelling or irritation within several days.
HOW IT WORKS
Cortisone injections contain synthetic corticosteroids (such as triamcinolone) that may reduce inflammation by temporarily calming immune activity in the skin. For acne, they are often injected directly into cysts or nodules. Results, when effective, may appear within 24 to 72 hours and typically last several days to weeks. Individual outcomes vary based on the condition treated and your body’s response.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Cortisone injections are typically quick, in-office procedures lasting only a few minutes. Visible improvement may occur within several days. Possible side effects include mild tenderness, skin thinning (atrophy), or hypopigmentation (lighter skin) at the injection site. These effects are usually temporary, but repeated injections in the same area may increase risks. Follow your provider’s aftercare instructions closely for the best outcome.
