Steroid injection for cystic acne

[chiredhead]

Is it safe to get an acne cyst injected with a steroid while breastfeeding? Baby is nursing 5 times per day,eats 3 solid meals + a snack, and is 10.5 months old.

chiredhead, thanks for posting,

Could you please find out the name of the steroid they will be using so we can advise you properly, and where is the cyst located? Please repost or call the InfantRisk Center at 806-352-2519. Thanks Sandra

It is only one cyst that would need to be injected.
