: Isn't there a procedure for cystic acne where you can go the the derm and have them do a shot at the acne and "alleviate" them?

i have been on acutane for 4 months now...before a school dance, and when i had a couple big patches of cystic acne, my derm gave me shots right in the face... i believe it was some sort of steriod..they did help some, not a lot, but can't be done too often... only for "special occasions" as they say :)
