I am leaving a record of my acne management.
After the holidays, I was stressed out from work, and I broke out in a pustular pimple around my chin. I don't usually get breakouts, but this time it was especially red and painful. I had to go to work, and I was freaking out. At first, I tried applying some medication to calm it down, but it just wouldn't go away, so I ended up going to the dermatologist. The doctor immediately recommended anti-inflammatory injections. After getting them, the swelling and pain went down really quickly. The morning after the injection, the redness and swelling were noticeably reduced, and I was amazed at the results. Of course, it'll take a few days for it to completely go away, but I don't think it'll spread like before when I touch it. Anti-inflammatory injections aren't the answer, but they seem to be a really effective way to treat acne that suddenly appears.
