Concerns about side effects and indentations from anti-inflammatory injections to soothe pustular acne and painful large pimples
2026.06.13 21:08
My skin is usually fine, but whenever my menstrual cycle, insomnia, or stress reaches its peak, large, hard, and painful pustular pimples break out around my chin and mouth. Even when I try to squeeze them out with my hands at home, no sebum comes out; instead, the surrounding skin just turns red and swells, leaving scars, which is incredibly painful. I am wondering if receiving an anti-inflammatory injection (Triaamcinolone) at Maypure on these painful, large inflammatory areas will cause them to subside within a day or two. Also, I have seen reviews mentioning a side effect where the skin sinks in at the injection site; I would like to know if this fills back in over time and if the injection is administered safely without any side effects.
