Q: Can I use Quadriderm NR on acne to prevent infection and redness?
A:Quadriderm contains a steroid. Topical steroids will definitely reduce redness and inflammation. However, when used over a long period of time, steroids in any form are known to precipitate and aggravate acne. Hence it is best avoided.
