I had a huge cystic zit on my chin about four days ago. I kept using a warm compress on it and I put on BP and globs of toothpaste before I went to sleep. I should've never done that, because now my zit is red an raw! The zit never came up, but the skin on top of it and around it is all dry and peely! The skin is like burned off or dead or something because it's kind of brown in color. Also the dry skin is flaky and shiny. I peeled some skin off and a puss came out. So I wiped it away. I've been applying bacitracin and putting globs of it on it. It's still red and raw is there anything I can do to get the zit to come out? I have a big event in 7 days and I really need to get the redness and the zit out!
okay everyone thinks they have cystic acne, and they don't
if you truly have a cyst, and an event coming, then go to your Derm (and you KNOW YOU have one if you REALLY have cystic acne) and get an injection of kenalog, and it will be gone in 24 hours.....if it's a cyst that will work
if it's a regular inflamed acne, then try ice, and I like the combo of salicylic acid for a couple minutes, followed by 10% glycolic acid, then followed by mild benzoyl peroxide....but ice it first gently
toothpaste? I know it works for some, but no way am I putting that on....and just try to leave it alone, do that treatment am and pm....and mineral cover over it during the day
but again, if it's a cyst, go see your derm tomorrow, explain you just need a quick injection and it will be gone in 24 hours (trust me, I've really battled cystic acne and I've had more injections then I care to count)
