The dosage of injection of steroids is very low.
However, if you keep having shots very often, there will be issues such as skin atrophy (dents, loss of skin color) and skin thinning.
Please re-evaluate your whole acne treatment regime to reduce such occurrences!
Here are a few questions to consider:
- Do you get big cystic ones just before periods? If so, a daily contraceptive pill to regulate your hormones will be good.
- Are your nails long and do you like to pick at your face? Lots of bacteria are hiding underneath your nails.
- Do you have lots of body hair? Irregular menses? These are signs of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
- Do you lack good acne treatment cleansers, serums? Do consider getting one that suits your skin.
I’d suggest speaking to your doctor, or getting a second opinion if you are unsure about your other treatment options.
