ok, one thing, dont ever touch your acne, no matter what, use clean and clear face wash everyday without fail, i mean do not wear any makeup for at least few days, make up makes it worse, im telling u, i had no place left on my face that had no pimples, just try to keep ur face away from the sun, try to keep ur face dry, put baby powder, and they days ur hair is oily keep them away from your face, those acne will clear off with u even knowing about it. NEVER TOUCH THEM!!, no matter what!!
Wow like everyuone said you are gorgeous -and Brave so brave to post all these pics, cause you know there will be A##@$%holes who will say stupid things - best of luck to you. God bless you and take care.
have you had a dermatologist look at it? I hope it doesn't scar you any further............i've suffered through it since I was 18 now i'm 35 .......but I have found something that works.......Tazorac gel .1 percent.......since acne is mainly caused by bacteria.........the gel makes my skin shed so it doesn't clog up my pores.........and all the oxygen kills all the bacteria and doesn't let it grow.........hope you find something though.........=)
your acne is almost exactly like mine! i hate when i get those cysts between my eyes like a horn... i tried tretinoin cream for about 8 weeks and it just made everything worse. i'm about to start a regimen using salicylic acid 20% peel and benzoyl peroxide at night, and use jojoba oil as it is said to regulate sebum production.
Have you tried Solodyn? I had Cystic Acne and tried all kinds of medication, but once I started taking Solodyn along with vitamins and Benzoly Peroxide wash mine cleared up!
hello mamiposa26 i have a suggestion for you. i love you to quit coloring your hair cause it has to do with the skin reaction. and this is important. in order to have a healthy skin you must take ascorbic acid 500mg.. you can take twice or thrice.. but at first try 500mg. for your stomach to adapt it. and last suggestion is. i love you to do a sunlightenment yoga. it is good for your health.
Your skin is not nearly as bad as mine. You at least have some patches of skin that are totally clear from any inflamation. Every single pore on my face is literally filled with either a comedone, cyst or regular pimple. I`m almost 27 years old and I`ve had this for what seems like forever. Exhausted all treatments and finances trying to get rid of it or keep it at bay. Ridicuouls..
Hi Serena, have you tried drinking the potato juice? if you are interested I can defininitely help you on that. it is said that it calms the acidity of the stomach.
I sent you a message in it is a how to apply the potato link but i have a drink of potato method let me know if you are interested take care, Yazmin
I used to have it like this back in the day, I remember poking needles in my face about a half an inch into my face trying to "pop" the puss out. I took Accutane for a few weeks and it worked for a few years. I thought I was going to have very bad scarring but I used and still use Vitamin A Retinol from Jamieson, on spotty areas and that stuff has been a miracle. You cant even tell I had acne like that.
@ketogenesis oh yeah, keeping the liver clean by drinking lemon juice, and I now whipe my face down with rubbing alcohol before I go to bed. I also use a moisturizer with acid in it for the rest of my face to prevent breakouts. The best thing I find is rubbing alcohol that dries the face like mad before you go to bed.
@ketogenesis and when i get home from work, I use a hot cloth and whipe my face, then apply hand sanitizer to sterilize anything on my face that would cause a breakout. My face is so sensitive to anything I put in my body, and any bacteria that comes in contact with it, it seems.
Bacteria from things like doorknobs, light switches & touching your face can cause cystic acne. The best best best thing to kill this strain of bacteria has been around for 100's of years.. just simple lye soap. Costs a few bucks (MoSoap.com sells it) & you use it once a day on your face and that cystic cycle will stop for as long as you use it every few days at least. Try it, you'll save a ton o' money verses Proactive & everything else.
um oh and do not by any more products at all! i promise you nothing will work besides accutane. and get it asap! you dont want scars, you dont want your acne to get super aggressive. thats what happend to me and not even accutane could take it all away. i have to go on a second treatment of it. and what ever you do, do not! get blood root black salve for it. i swear you will regret it. its for legions on your skin but i literally burned through my skin. haha ya now i have an ugly scar on myface.
hey, i just wanted to say im sorry you have cystic acne. like i no how it can make you feel, trust me i have bad, super bad. i was born with bad genes so ha its just my luck. anyways like i said i no how cystic acne can make you feel, i no how hard it is to get rid of. i just want you to no your fu**ing gorgeous! with or without acne. and dont ever feel like your not. and dont let weird looks and what ppl say play with your mind.
believe you me I have had it for more then ten years tried it all, spent so much money on treatments,tell to day , the one thing at has done the best ,(didnt get worst before it got better) is (aspirin mask ,and limon juice, )no red ness no pilling ,,...my pores got smaller ,,..I dont use lots of make up no more , hope I can help some one try it , it works ,,..
and just plain antibacterail soap ,,.. my skin is very oily no need for moisturizers
try mulit vitamins(esp B complex, C, D, zinc) and something called indole or DIM also walking for circulation and good diet...that is what worked for me also lots of prayer :)...I tried a lot of products, medicines, peels...none of that worked
I have FAR WORSE cystic acne than you in fact I WISH TO GOD I had your skin! Mines all over my nose/chin/neck/arms/behind my eyes/cheeks/forehead I am going to try accutane when my doctor can find an appointment for me,
Ignore those lecturing you on what you eat.. I am a vegan and only drink fruit/healthy foods no mcdonalds ETC and it never stopped me getting it, In my case it's inherited.
However drinking plenty of fresh clean water helps, avoid fatty greasy meals and try cutting down on milk.
@victoriatodd ugh, myn is inherited too... it really sucks because none of the drugstore face wash or cream will work for us like it does other people. Thank GAWD for accutane, it seriously saved my life! You will be so happy on accutane, it is so worth the dry lips :) Sadly i have to go back on it because after about, oh a year i started breaking out bad again :( Good luck with accutane!
@carodalino Yeah, It sucks I've been on so many medications.. and creams face washes ETC you wouldn't believe it I have it on my nose which is worst for me as it's harder to cover up than cheeks and chin
I will start my accutane course on the 1st of july as the doctor makes me go on the pill for a month before but that's no problem
I can't wait to start accutane.. but at the same time.. dreading it lol
I have suffered with bad acne most of my life that is until I started using the 14 Day Acne Cure Solution. The 14 Days Acne Solution was the only thing that worked for me. But to be honest it took me maybe 3 weeks rather than the 14 days. I think this is mainly because I did not stick to the plan 100%. The good thing though is that I am acne free now and that is what matters. Thank you so very much Casey for changing my life. Click on my channel productxpressit for details.
i dont know ho u do...it....im upset every day....cause i have 1 or 2 scars..and like 1pimple..and i dont even wanna go outside....i worry to much about waht people think of me
dam i know this sounds kind of strange but i wish i had har skin with those breakouts in my teens cuz her face seems like its not scaring unfortunely i got clusters of cystic pimples that hva left my face looking like the moon with shallow round craters
never put makeup on your face it makes the acne so much worse and causes more break outs, though lipstick and eye makeup is fine but foundation is a no go.
totally eating healther may not cure acne but you will benifit in the long term with your overall heath - i wathced a TV programme on diary foods - you should see the amount of shit that goes into them - actually disgusts me - take milk for example in the USA contains pus from cows injected with growth hormone to make them produce more than they are able - and cheese slices with only 6 percent that is actual cheese - totally unbelevable - makes me question what is in say mcdonalds , KFC etc
i agree with people that say diet is related to acne - western diet is processed shit - sugars , fats etc switch to a healhter diet and your skin will change , it may not fully clear acne but it will look fresher -
i agree! I use to get cystic acne. But for me I believe after finding God I started to eat healthier, stop wearing makeup, and felt free. Now my skin is great due to almighty GOD! I do not know if you are a believer in GOD but he has and still is doing great things for me.
Unfortunately there is no cure for acne even today, the only good cure is Accutane, but they say that about 26% people who took accutane the acne came back.
I got one more suggestion for you that i see you didn't try i can send you the page if you want. It's interesting.
@mamiposa26 Hi, I'm curious if you take vitamins on a regular basis? I saw DrJamesMartin acne videos on here and he said the real problem is the liver is not doing its job and could be missing one nutrient.
Please watch this video: youtube.com/watch?v=BVn-jmCi4zI
It's about 6 minutes long, but its research about a diet that cures acne. No medications, just food.
I didn't have acne, but the diet did save my life from something else. Check out my page and watch my videos. If you have any questions... please email me, ok?

I used to LOVE my skin, but a month after I turned 17 (turned 17 back in august) I started to get this =( still trying to find a way to get my skin back to the way it used to be =/
Listen I can completely sympathise with anyone who has cystic acne, I've been suffering from it for years thing is people think it's your fault like you dont keep your skin clean enough or you havent been seeing a doctor. Well I've been on acutane treatment and it has worked miracles thats my advice try it cause it works stopped bearkouts completely not sure how long it will last but trust me it is worth the money
I have been suffering from cystic acne for years and can relate to everyone's suffering. Antibiotics and accutane only gave me more problems than I had to begin with.
Remove all dairy from your diet. I have not had a single outbreak or cyst since I have removed all dairy from my diet. After further research, the Bovine Growth Hormone they add to the milk I am convinced was the cause of problem. It might be yours.
Shelli - I just eliminated all dairy and miraculously my skin issues just vanished. Also, chocolate has milk, so saddly I have also eliminated that from my diet. Still, it beats cortisone shots, useless drugs and surgical procedures.
@mindglider: I have MILD acne. Definetly not Cyistic. But, I have w WHOLE bunch of DARK DARK scars left from my acne. What can I do? What should I add to my eating/ remove? Thanks!
@SuddenCatharsis lol, guys can too if they are sneaky about it. I helped one of my friends cover some stuff up and it didnt look like he had make up on, though he said that it made him feel gay XD
uuu and this is just pictures! I have a video where the pus and all the crap inside of my pimple comes out!!! it is so ugly and nasty thats why I haven't even uploaded it!! I am scared of peoples reaction!!
Exactly! I always think the worst part is, people think it's our own fault, because "we aren't clean enough" or "why don't you see a doctor". yeah, like we haven't tried that already :P anyway, good luck!
However, if the cystic pimple is really painful putting an ice pack (ice inside a Ziploc bag and covered with a thin face towel to keep ice from burning face) for a few minutes always helps relieve cystic pain. I also make and use a honey/yogurt mask about 2-3 times a week; I cover my face with honey and plain yogurt (flavorless) and leave it on for about 30 minutes- this mask always makes my face look and feel soft and hydrated in the morning.
I dont want to sound like a bitch but it looks like you had been touching your face which had made it worse than what it couldve been if you would have left them alone & treated your skin
listen you are beautiful and i had acne before and its gone away mostly. it seems like your entire life but trust me it will go away. i had to get prescribed accutaine for mine and it worked.
One get a cleaner doesn't matter which one you get you can spend five dollars or $50 K. second and this is the most important thing buy benzyl peroxide and 2.5 it works just as well as the 10%.the 10% burns like Feck third in the moisturizer with very little ingredients the best kind to get his one which says it has b vitamins inside and the last thing take a b vitamin supplements that say Methylcobalamin on the back of it and if you have adult acne get a led lamp they cost 500 max hope this :D
got better but its worth a shot. Birth control can help with hormonal imbalance which is what possibly might be whats going on with you. I really hope you figure it out take care
I suffer from cystic acne as well. It is very debilitating for me & I wouldn't want to leave my house, in fear that people would see my face. Nothing seemed to work for me either, or it would for only a short time if i was lucky. I don't know if your old enough but I was prescribed to yaz and after about 6 months my cystic acne diminished. Some people might say "don't take yaz blahblahblash" but i have been taking it for well over a year with no problem at all. My skin did get worse before it
I too suffered from cystic acne and the only thing that helped me besides Accutane were cortisone shots. As soon as I felt a cyst forming I would go to my Dermatologist to get cortisone shots directly into the cyst. It would prevent the cyst form developing any further. It only worked for me if I got into the Doctor within a day or two of the cyst forming. If I waited longer than that the cyst was too large to get under control Best of luck to you. I know how painful this disease is.
Find out what is making your face break out. It takes time to figure out. i found out it was bareminerals doing this. I usually don't have acne this severe and when i do break out i use tea tree i swear by it.
Ice put ice on those cysts rub it in ten mins on each and eat lots an lots of garlic.I had cystic acne 12 years untill I was told about this and my face got better in two months.Try it and you will heal honey God Bless you
as a sufferer myself (in the past) I can sympathize. I was a guinea pig for the product out now called Accutane.
I've had up to 80 cysts on my body at one time, and since this was back in the early eighties wasn't really treatable until I got on the program at the NIH.
I hope you heal in every way. It's not an easy thing to live through.
I never had a pimple until my 20"s. Now I am 31 and I have been plagued with cystic acne JUST LIKE YOURS for many years. I have tried all the conventional TV ad acne treatments, but on Monday I am going to a (supposedly) great dermatologist who does peels and work with cystic acne. God bless you.
i believe it leaves a scar if its not handled properly. (meaning if you pooke it alot, or if you use your nails to pop it) but strangely, mine scar even if i dont touch them!! Thats why I am so disapointed! but dont get me wrong, mine are not simple sits or white pimples! mine are huge and at one point it covered my entire cheeck!!! (i had 6 huge cysts at once so it lookd like my entire cheek was a pimple)
oh and i forgot to mention, when i was at the dermotologist they stuck a needle with some type of sugar based liquid and that worked!! i never got cystic acne in that spot ever again.
I have had severe acne for over 10 years! i tried antibiotics, accutane and also o ver the counter treatments like proactive. acne free, aloe vera gels, different types of facial masks but nothing worked!! I recently tried using ice. I dont know if you've tried it but it works! Rub ice the moment you "feel" the pimple coming out. Leave it on for about 5-10 mins and do this 2-3 times a day. I Can't promise you anything.. this worked for me but may not work for you. No harm in trying though!
Testosterone is an androgen, and some people just produce too much of it (us). Therefore it creates an environment for the oil glands to go into overdrive producing the natural oils that normally protect and moisturize the skin. Basically, we produce too much oil and it's a specific hormone causing the problem.
I have cystic acne, and my dr just recommended taking Aldactone (originally a blood pressure medicine) for hormonal/cystic acne. i started on 25mg, but she said i will have to work my way up to 100mg. She said it helps to reduce the testosterone in your body and reduce oil. I've researched online and lot of people like it. I'm also using Aczone and Epiduo as topicals and those are working ok. I can't wait for the aldactone to work tho.
I do have lots of oil because my face gets oily very oily after a couple of hours! I have no idea how testosterone might be harmful but its awesome that someone addresses the oil abundance!! thanks I will look into that as well
wow thats a tough caise, im about to give you best advice for acne anyone has ever gave you one, go to a torrent site download the acne free in 3 days by craig gibson follow his program for couple of days and you ll never have an acne problem again, the problem isnt in your skin or hormones, anyway you ll get itt when you read i i joust hope you listen and follow it for your skins sake, bye p.s. let me now how you did
When I start to get a cyst I go to the derm.asap and have them inject it with a cortisteriod to bring down the swelling its called a kenalog injection. Sometimes they extract as well. I am now using Differn and antibotics. The differn takes a while to work but I notice a big difference. Also I go this blue light hand held thing for acne that helps. Cut out dairy as well. You might have hormal acne you should try Diane as well. Thx for posting video!!
my mum gtes me it there loads of websites that sell it it realy is the best makeup cuz it doesnt clog pores it meant to help heal the skin condition its got collagen and other greta things in type in dermacia on youtube it will expaline a bit about it more i will find out whrree my mum gets it
i have lots of cystic acne on my chest. i scrub mildly with soap like 3 times a day and use acne pads. i also take zinc and vitamin E every day but none of this works.
4...Topically, pure snail serum is supposed to be great for a number of dermal problems including severe acne, I've heard pretty impressive accounts of it. Bohemia Style has a good product. Essential oil of mint can fight an infection fast, but it might be too strong for your type of problem, so at least be cautious. Using makeup will very likely aggravate the problem, I'd suggest you try to take yourself off it for a few months. The skin's metabolism benefits by exercise too, maybe try yoga.
@mamiposa26 do u have sex regularly? i heard that regular sex is a good way to get rid of acne because it releives stress and releases some sort of natural enzyme...lol its cool if u dont wanna answer that question though it is kind of a personal question
3...Really important is being hydrated, in fact I suggest you start every day with drinking half a liter (roughly 16 ounces) of water a good 20 mins before you eat, to clean you out a bit. Also really important for the skin are essential fatty acids, which can be supplemented as flax seed (linseed) oil for example. Another thing to supplement with are chlorella and spirulina, which are really comprehensive as far as their nutritional profile goes. More on them can also be found online...
2...suppress the symptom, are likely to just throw you more off balance on the long run. What I would specifically recommend is for you to really clean up your diet. Avoid all food additives, trans fats, simple carbohydrates such as sugars and refined foods. Preferably eat organic, and if you're up for it go on a raw vegan programme for at least a couple of months. It's too much to explain here but there's plenty of info on raw food online. Be easy on fruits though, as they have high sugar...
1.Alright, since I stumbled across this and you said in your profile you'd like some suggestions, I'll give my two cents. Your body is a whole, and therefore a symptom such as this one you're experiencing isn't just about the part that's acting out, it relates to the general balance of your system and there's a great number of factors involved, and for this reason, the best solution is promoting over all balance in other words getting really really healthy. Taking drugs that aim to temporarily..
Have you tried aloe vera? The juice straight from the plant is probably the best. Just place it on the affected area. It heals and also helps the redness. I know it sounds kind of gross, but it has many healing properties. Do some research on it.
****of course only do this if you are not allergic to aloe vera! ****
I have had many liver tests and everything seems to be normal. Its a mystery that I have been trying to solve for over 10 years!!! thanks for the comment!!
did you try eliminating dairy/chocolate included? I told you the hormones in the milk is the cause. I suffered for years and once I eliminated all dairy and chocolate, my skin miraculously turned off. It was that simple! Try it for two weeks and you will see.
same thing works quite well for me. i've found that dairy seems to make me get an excessive amount of cysts around my jaw and neck area, and my whiteheads would swell up with tons of pus. i eliminated dairy as much as i could, and i stopped getting cysts. occasionally, i slip up and eat something that has butter in it ,and if i consumed too much of it, i'll have a few new cysts to deal with. but still, i have noticed such a difference. i recommend anyone suffering with severe acne to try this.
You may not believe me, but I find that when I eat a lot of sweets like cake, icecream, cookies, soda, etc, I can ALWAYS count on something (or somethings) big and nasty popping out within a few days. They are painful and horrible, but when I eliminate those things, my skin clears back up. Maybe you are eating something that doesn't agree with you. Not just sweets, but something else in your diet. Try eliminating certain foods and that may help.
that does look painful =( but i actually have a suggestion: try this bar soap called Purpose, ($3 max.) they sell it at drugstores and supermarkets. If the bar is too drying then you can try the liquid form which is a bitmore expensive (I think $7) Then apply a Benzoyl Peroxide lotion twice a day after washing your face. I use a lotion from Daniel Kern (just google Daniel Kern). He also has his own cleansers and moisturizers as well designed specifically to help heal acne.
thanks for the tip I will be looking for it online, I am in desperate need of ideas becasue right now I have a huge one on the left side of my face. Thanks!!!
yes I have taken accutane for 2 years already but it didnt work for me unfortunately. and accutane is such a strong pill that I was told that I could only take it for 2 years max! thanks for your comment!!!
thankyou!!!! for the beautiful face part. and for the painful hek yes it is very painful!! but I am dealing with it and I also hope I can get cured thanks again!!
Hey girl, you're not alone. I've been fighting acne for around 6 years now and I haven't given up!!! Using Emu Oil on my scars has helped them fade...give it a shot if you feel bold :) xxx
I just had to become an expert makeup artist to hide my flaws from acne, if it was'nt for makeup I would only leave my house between my breakouts. It sucks too, I am so pretty like you, and if I did'nt have acne I would'nt wear makeup it just sucks that I have too some weeks. I just want you to know I feel your pain. The only thing that helps is wearing a thick mask of vitamin E lotion or Retnol Cream on my face until it dries, then I wash it off and my face looks way better.
thanks for your comment. I hope I can find a solution for my acne fast so that I can post a video of what has worked and what has not. I appreciate your concern. Dealing with acne is the worst thing that has happened to me! but on the other end I thank God because I have always had good people around me that help me feel better even in the worst case. THANK YOU!!
hello..i hope u read my msg..and hope it helps! if anything u can always contact me!..oh yeah another thing pls....dont use any masks with avocado!!!specially if ur skin is oily..and becareful with the foundations u put on ur face too..i was using mac and it broke me out sooo bad!!so i only use their eyeshadows..lips etc..ok ttulg!
thanks for the tip!!! my skin is very oily!!! I am more of a drugstore girl jajaja I cant afford those high end products unfortunately. but I was thinking of buying one just yesterday!!! so you comment has helped me a lot.
Hey girl jus wanted to let you know that your not alone I been suffering from acne for 9 yrs now and I know how it feels. I make my 10x worse because i cant stop picking my face. I have that bad habit and will pick non stop then i get my face red & swollen then i get depressed and wont get out of my house its affecting my life Im missing out alot cuz of my acne but keep your head up i know its really hard but we got 2 stay strong& TRY there has 2be something out there that can work 4 us.
Hang in there it will get better. I went through the same thing my senoir year in High School only much worse. It lasted for about 2 years then cleared up
ok, one thing, dont ever touch your acne, no matter what, use clean and clear face wash everyday without fail, i mean do not wear any makeup for at least few days, make up makes it worse, im telling u, i had no place left on my face that had no pimples, just try to keep ur face away from the sun, try to keep ur face dry, put baby powder, and they days ur hair is oily keep them away from your face, those acne will clear off with u even knowing about it. NEVER TOUCH THEM!!, no matter what!!

I have FAR WORSE cystic acne than you in fact I WISH TO GOD I had your skin! Mines all over my nose/chin/neck/arms/behind my eyes/cheeks/forehead I am going to try accutane when my doctor can find an appointment for me,
Ignore those lecturing you on what you eat.. I am a vegan and only drink fruit/healthy foods no mcdonalds ETC and it never stopped me getting it, In my case it's inherited.
However drinking plenty of fresh clean water helps, avoid fatty greasy meals and try cutting down on milk.

@victoriatodd ugh, myn is inherited too... it really sucks because none of the drugstore face wash or cream will work for us like it does other people. Thank GAWD for accutane, it seriously saved my life! You will be so happy on accutane, it is so worth the dry lips :) Sadly i have to go back on it because after about, oh a year i started breaking out bad again :( Good luck with accutane!

I can't wait to start accutane.. but at the same time.. dreading it lol

I have suffered with bad acne most of my life that is until I started using the 14 Day Acne Cure Solution. The 14 Days Acne Solution was the only thing that worked for me. But to be honest it took me maybe 3 weeks rather than the 14 days. I think this is mainly because I did not stick to the plan 100%. The good thing though is that I am acne free now and that is what matters. Thank you so very much Casey for changing my life. Click on my channel productxpressit for details.

This is what I did to get rid of my severe acne:
1) Cut out dairy
2) Take Dianette birth control. (Honestly, I can't recommend it highly enough. I so want you to try it!)
3) Use sunbeds for about 6 mins twice a week. (I'd cut down though after a while. You don't want cancer.)
4) Buy 'Panoxyl' from a chemist's. Apply twice daily all over the face.
Please, please, PLEASE try Dianette. Let me know how you get on! x

Listen I can completely sympathise with anyone who has cystic acne, I've been suffering from it for years thing is people think it's your fault like you dont keep your skin clean enough or you havent been seeing a doctor.

I have been suffering from cystic acne for years and can relate to everyone's suffering. Antibiotics and accutane only gave me more problems than I had to begin with.
Remove all dairy from your diet. I have not had a single outbreak or cyst since I have removed all dairy from my diet. After further research, the Bovine Growth Hormone they add to the milk I am convinced was the cause of problem. It might be yours.

However, if the cystic pimple is really painful putting an ice pack (ice inside a Ziploc bag and covered with a thin face towel to keep ice from burning face) for a few minutes always helps relieve cystic pain. I also make and use a honey/yogurt mask about 2-3 times a week; I cover my face with honey and plain yogurt (flavorless) and leave it on for about 30 minutes- this mask always makes my face look and feel soft and hydrated in the morning.

I suffer from cystic acne as well. It is very debilitating for me & I wouldn't want to leave my house, in fear that people would see my face. Nothing seemed to work for me either, or it would for only a short time if i was lucky. I don't know if your old enough but I was prescribed to yaz and after about 6 months my cystic acne diminished. Some people might say "don't take yaz blahblahblash" but i have been taking it for well over a year with no problem at all. My skin did get worse before it
philly625 2 years ago
I tried it already but didnt work for me!
mamiposa26 2 years ago
I too suffered from cystic acne and the only thing that helped me besides Accutane were cortisone shots. As soon as I felt a cyst forming I would go to my Dermatologist to get cortisone shots directly into the cyst. It would prevent the cyst form developing any further. It only worked for me if I got into the Doctor within a day or two of the cyst forming. If I waited longer than that the cyst was too large to get under control Best of luck to you. I know how painful this disease is.

Testosterone is an androgen, and some people just produce too much of it (us). Therefore it creates an environment for the oil glands to go into overdrive producing the natural oils that normally protect and moisturize the skin. Basically, we produce too much oil and it's a specific hormone causing the problem.

I have cystic acne, and my dr just recommended taking Aldactone (originally a blood pressure medicine) for hormonal/cystic acne. i started on 25mg, but she said i will have to work my way up to 100mg. She said it helps to reduce the testosterone in your body and reduce oil. I've researched online and lot of people like it. I'm also using Aczone and Epiduo as topicals and those are working ok. I can't wait for the aldactone to work tho.

When I start to get a cyst I go to the derm.asap and have them inject it with a cortisteriod to bring down the swelling its called a kenalog injection. Sometimes they extract as well. I am now using Differn and antibotics. The differn takes a while to work but I notice a big difference. Also I go this blue light hand held thing for acne that helps. Cut out dairy as well.

4...Topically, pure snail serum is supposed to be great for a number of dermal problems including severe acne, I've heard pretty impressive accounts of it. Bohemia Style has a good product. Essential oil of mint can fight an infection fast, but it might be too strong for your type of problem, so at least be cautious. Using makeup will very likely aggravate the problem, I'd suggest you try to take yourself off it for a few months. The skin's metabolism benefits by exercise too, maybe try yoga.

3...Really important is being hydrated, in fact I suggest you start every day with drinking half a liter (roughly 16 ounces) of water a good 20 mins before you eat, to clean you out a bit. Also really important for the skin are essential fatty acids, which can be supplemented as flax seed (linseed) oil for example. Another thing to supplement with are chlorella and spirulina, which are really comprehensive as far as their nutritional profile goes. More on them can also be found online...
LittleSilverBones 2 years ago
2...suppress the symptom, are likely to just throw you more off balance on the long run. What I would specifically recommend is for you to really clean up your diet. Avoid all food additives, trans fats, simple carbohydrates such as sugars and refined foods. Preferably eat organic, and if you're up for it go on a raw vegan programme for at least a couple of months. It's too much to explain here but there's plenty of info on raw food online. Be easy on fruits though, as they have high sugar...
LittleSilverBones 2 years ago
1.Alright, since I stumbled across this and you said in your profile you'd like some suggestions, I'll give my two cents. Your body is a whole, and therefore a symptom such as this one you're experiencing isn't just about the part that's acting out, it relates to the general balance of your system and there's a great number of factors involved, and for this reason, the best solution is promoting over all balance in other words getting really really healthy. Taking drugs that aim to temporarily..

Have you tried aloe vera? The juice straight from the plant is probably the best. Just place it on the affected area. It heals and also helps the redness. I know it sounds kind of gross, but it has many healing properties. Do some research on it.

did you try eliminating dairy/chocolate included? I told you the hormones in the milk is the cause. I suffered for years and once I eliminated all dairy and chocolate, my skin miraculously turned off. It was that simple! Try it for two weeks and you will see.
mindglider 2 years ago 2
same thing works quite well for me. i've found that dairy seems to make me get an excessive amount of cysts around my jaw and neck area, and my whiteheads would swell up with tons of pus. i eliminated dairy as much as i could, and i stopped getting cysts. occasionally, i slip up and eat something that has butter in it ,and if i consumed too much of it, i'll have a few new cysts to deal with. but still, i have noticed such a difference. i recommend anyone suffering with severe acne to try this.
fallendecember88 2 years ago
You may not believe me, but I find that when I eat a lot of sweets like cake, icecream, cookies, soda, etc, I can ALWAYS count on something (or somethings) big and nasty popping out within a few days. They are painful and horrible, but when I eliminate those things, my skin clears back up. Maybe you are eating something that doesn't agree with you. Not just sweets, but something else in your diet. Try eliminating certain foods and that may help.

mamiposa26 2 years ago
that does look painful =( but i actually have a suggestion: try this bar soap called Purpose, ($3 max.) they sell it at drugstores and supermarkets. If the bar is too drying then you can try the liquid form which is a bitmore expensive (I think $7) Then apply a Benzoyl Peroxide lotion twice a day after washing your face. I use a lotion from Daniel Kern (just google Daniel Kern). He also has his own cleansers and moisturizers as well designed specifically to help heal acne.

Hey girl, you're not alone. I've been fighting acne for around 6 years now and I haven't given up!!! Using Emu Oil on my scars has helped them fade...give it a shot if you feel bold :) xxx

I just had to become an expert makeup artist to hide my flaws from acne, if it was'nt for makeup I would only leave my house between my breakouts. It sucks too, I am so pretty like you, and if I did'nt have acne I would'nt wear makeup it just sucks that I have too some weeks. I just want you to know I feel your pain. The only thing that helps is wearing a thick mask of vitamin E lotion or Retnol Cream on my face until it dries, then I wash it off and my face looks way better.

thanks for your comment. I hope I can find a solution for my acne fast so that I can post a video of what has worked and what has not. I appreciate your concern. Dealing with acne is the worst thing that has happened to me! but on the other end I thank God because I have always had good people around me that help me feel better even in the worst case. THANK YOU!!

Dont worry about your acne... it only is on parts at a time... And you're really really pretty - that acne has got nothing on you
