Persistent cystic acne?
I am lucky enough not to have severe acne, BUT I am frustrated with stubborn cysts that keep forming. I tried antibiotics which made me nauseous , benzoyl peroxide wash, clindamycine, retin a all from the dermatologist with not much luck. I get some surface pimple, but many form under the skin. They get so SORE and are really hard. They don't really come to a head. I would call them cysts, but my problem is, there's no real direct treatment for them, is there?Please, if you have cleared your cysts, let me know how Thanks
How can I finally heal my horrible cystic acne without going on accutane?
I was on yaz for my acne, which cleared it up alot. Then I switched to ortho tri cyclen, which made me break out badly again. So I got back on yaz. Been back on yaz for 2 1 2 months now, and I am still breaking out Dermatologist also put me on tetracycline and spironolactone about 2 weeks ago, but it is not helping. Any advice on what to do? Accutane is too expensive for me plus I have heard about the awful side effects.
I have developed cystic acne at thirty, any advice?
It is only on my neck and jawline thankfully. I have been prescribed antibiotics but they will only work short term. Do you have any advice on how to get rid of it permanantly? would cleansing help such as detoxing?
Suggestions about how to clear up cystic acne
Hi all Any feed back on this would be much appreciated I'm 25 years old and for the past few years been suffering from cystic pimples mostly on my cheeks and chin. Ive been on multiple oral antibiotics that were supposed to kill whatever infection was under my skin and none have helped, I've tried Pro Active and that was a nightmare just made it 20 x worse Ive also tried numerous topical creams that pretty much dried my skin so bad the pimples would peel and bleed and look even worse. I dont have a severe case but its pretty bad in my eyes, i have scars all over my cheeks and chin and am becoming tad bit depressed over it, i dont know what else to do without having to try accutane which i really do NOT want to do. Anyone have any helpful suggestions? Anyone have or had this problem and the outcome was successful? I'm all ears...
Anyone got an injection for cystic or nodule acne before? i'm skeptical of this? how were your results?
the doctor wanted to give me injections for my acne. i have a few big red bumps that pop up once in a while and i think there's a nodule or hard flat surface like acne bump on my cheeks and it's going down slowly. i didn't let him do it because of general physician said the pimple will still exist internally after the shotbasically i want to know if it's safe and how were your experiences? did it get rid if it for good?

Still getting hormonal/cystic acne ewhile on bc pills?
I was put on BC pills TriNessa to help with a hormonal imbalance and clear acne. However, its been about 4 months and i cant say it's helped very much. I still get huge cysts under the skin that leave scars.I'm also using products from my derm...benzoyl peroxide wash, clindamycine lotion, retin a, every single night.What else can I do...maybe natural methods?? diet, supplements, etc. Thanks i forgot to add, i was on antibiotics and they made me sick and did not help at all. also, i was going to switch but i got scared because a lot of people complained about the one i was going to switch to Yasmin .yes i have a somewhat high level of testosterone. the derm thinks i dotn have pcos because im not overweight and have some facial hair but not excessively. idk, i might have a slight case of it.also, i do skip a day here and there, so i dont overdo it.

I have cystic acne and i have yet to find an over the counter product that will help me. I do not want to go to a dermatologist because it is too expensive. What products work well, does anyone have any home remedies?
