I can relate I had cystic acne bad for 7 years I tried everything. I finally found out that it was genetic and that I wasted my money on so much medication I found a good dermatologist that really wanted to help me get rid of it. He prescribed me accutane and I follow all the doctors detections changed my diet started exercising every day. Being on the medication sucked the side effects are nasty but it worked. I might have had a couple pimples since. I still have scars left over and don't care much about them. Just keep your head up people treated me like a leper thinking they were going to catch it or something lol! Just take care of you self.
