I spilled boiling water all down my left arm and put multiple ointments on it (Lidocaine, Burn Cream, etc.) but the only thing that made it feel better was some leftover prescription triamcinolone acetonide. It allowed me to not only sleep with the burn, but also added some flexibility to the burnt skin on my arm and hand, allowing me some more motion and dexterity. I don't know about it from a clinical perspective, but from experience, it works. And why not try? Triamcinolone acetonide has a very slight risk of any side effects. Its a type of synthetic steroid almost identical to Cortizone (Hydrocortizone lotion) so its almost certainly going to reduce swelling and reduce recovery time.

It won't directly heal current acne, but it will improve any small scars left behind from acne.

No. It is a corticosteroid used to reduce redness and itching with skin conditions.
