Hello, a while ago back in the summer I took accutane for six days and was very skeptical about doing it since a few side effects appeared after a couple of days of use. So a little bit after that I just didn't go back to the derm that prescribed the accutane to me and started using Dan's regimen, however, I knew from the start that it wasn't going to be a permanent solution.

Since the beginning of this month, I've found two hard cyst in my scalp, and with using the regimen I guess my acne's mild...but my question is should I go to another derm about the cysts or go to my primary doc. first and see what she says?

I know I've had swollen lymph nodes in my neck for a very long time now but docs. always say they're nothing, but I think there are others in other places in my body (underneath the jaw, chest, underneath the armpits, etc.) None of them are abnormally large though

 

There are different kinds of cysts and sometimes they need to be surgically removed, they can last for a long time. My mom had one for over a year and had to have it cut out. Your lymph nodes are swollen? You think there's cysts in those areas or what? Swollen lymphs can be a sign of infection or allergies. Mine always feel swollen when my allergies are acting up.

These cysts are the weirdest things to happen to me acne-wise, but is having them surgically removed the only option? I'm a guy with dreads and I'd hate to have to cut my hair because of this; the only other cyst that I have is on my jaw at the top some distance underneath my ear and it's been there for a long time, but it's not big and it doesn't bother me much. I've always thought my acne was related to an infection when I learned about lymph nodes...

My acne seems exactly like yours... In the exact spots you mentioned. Go to your dermatologist and get a cortisone shot for the ones on your scalp. They can generally be done with ease and without removing hair.
