Cystic Acne Relief
There’s no “good” form of acne, but among the worst shapes this chronic skin condition takes, cystic acne is near the top. Cysts often present as pus-filled bumps rising from deep under the skin. More painful than your average whiteheads or blackheads, these cysts also carry an increased risk of long-term scarring. But like other forms of acne, these cysts can be treated. At Ganger Dermatology, we have the quick, simple, and effective cyst injections you need.
Managing Cystic Acne by Eliminating Cysts
The more painful and damaging the acne, the more powerful the treatment. At Ganger Dermatology, we use targeted injections to reduce inflammation while also limiting the chances of scarring or infection.
Our intralesional Kenalog injections (ILKs) deliver cyst-fighting steroids directly into the treatment area for rapid and comprehensive relief. These injections limit discomfort, reduce cyst size, and help your skin heal faster once the cyst subsides. Cyst injections also prevent more serious infections from occurring, limiting further painful outbreaks.

Cystic Acne FAQs
Like other forms of acne, cystic acne is caused primarily by an overproduction of sebum (a naturally produced oil that protects skin and hair). This sebum mixes with bacteria, dead skin, other oils, and toxins before it’s trapped beneath the skin, causing painful cysts.
Left to their own devices, your cysts may take weeks to subside. Cyst injections, on the other hand, can reduce the size, discomfort, and recovery time for cystic acne to just a few days’ time. The quicker you address your cysts, the less chance for prolonged suffering or scarring.

Our intralesional Kenalog steroid treatment is injected into the cyst itself for the fastest and best results. A topical numbing agent may be applied to limit or eliminate any discomfort.
