Hey y'all, I'm a 15 year old male who recently started accutane 2 weeks ago. It was prescribed more for my body acne, but the acne on my face was more moderate. This morning I awoke to a decent sized bump on my chin that didn't yet have a head. I figured it would develop a head over the course of the day, fast forward to tonight when the picture was taken. Is this possibly a cyst? I've never had a cystic pimple before. (In the picture, the pimple in question is on the right, highest up)
I can't look at the photo due to my location (I am in a StarBucks), but cystic acne will pop up during your course of accutane. If it doesn't have a head, and is hard to the touch and typically painful, it is a cyst. Just try your hardest to ignore it and keep it treated and you will be fine :).
This coming from a girl who deals with it far too much lol
