I received a dexamethasone rinse from my doctor for my canker sores that I get every so often. Yesterday, I developed a nickel sized acne cyst on my forehead that is rather unpleasant to the eye. Because dexamethasone is a corticosteroid, I know that it is used as an anti-inflammatory drug (hence for the canker sores).

However, can dexamethasone be used for treating acne cysts? If so, how would I use it? Can I rub it on the cyst and have it be absorbed transdermally? Or should I just drink a teaspoon or so of it?

Any help on this would be much appreciated. Thanks!

My acne keeps gradually getting worse. Primarily with blackheads and these underskin white heads. I will accasionally get a huge pimple though. No matter what I have been using, my acne has never even slowed down in it’s slow progression of taking over my face. So I bought Noxzema triple cleansing pads to give it a shot. Has it worked for anyone else.

I have been using Neutrogena and I don’t have oily skin my skin is normal and I have dry skin in between my brows and thats were I get my acne so if I use lotion will my acne go away?

Hello

can anyone suggest me natural remedies to cure acne?

i have had this hard painful, itchy cystic acne lump on the side of my chin for a week or 2 now and it was showing no signs of going away so i decided to prick a pin into it to see if that would help relieve some pressure or release some fluid. some yellowish white fluid came out when i squeezed where i pricked the cyst but not much and it hurt too much to squeeze any harder. i pricked it a few more times in different places (this thing is huge) and nothing came out of the other places (just blood). what should i do now? im sure there is probably still more pus in it because only a small amount came out and the thing is still huge. i covered it with benzoyl peroxide 10% cream.. will this draw more of the pus out? ive never had one like this before. how long will it take to heal??
