Overview
A very small amount of medication is placed directly into a swollen inflamed spot to settle it quickly. Because the spot calms faster, the risk of it leaving a scar drops. Repeating in the same spot at short intervals can thin the skin or leave a mark, so intervals are kept and the amount is controlled carefully.

FAQ
It is given only as needed when inflammation flares. It settles visibly within twenty-four to forty-eight hours, so it is used when you are in a hurry rather than as scheduled care. The longer a spot stays swollen the higher the scarring risk, so the aim is to shorten that time.
