Yes, Tricort can be used for the cystic acne, if prescribed by a doctor. Acne is usually treated by the use of intralesional (injected under the skin surface) injections. Acne can greatly reduce the quality of life of a person. It can be prevented or reduced by washing the face regularly, removing the blackheads, using a sunblock that doesn't clog the pores, keeping the hair clean and dandruff free, drinking lots of water, eating raw, vegan or nutritionally dense diet, minimising the consumption of fizzy drinks and caffeine, keeping stress levels under control, doing some kind of a physical activity and ensuring adequate sleep.
