I have severe acne on my jawline and neck area. I can't remember when i last stopped getting breakouts in that area.. Anyway, i used to just breakout on the right side of my jaw but now it's both! this is my worst image.thumb.jpg.bd1ad61c55261e85c9ab77c9image.thumb.jpg.a15993a1a8beff49b8014b2ebreakout ever! I got cystic acnes in one area like a cluster and tried treating it with a mix of vitamin e oil and tea tree oil or witch hazel toner and tea tree oil. I used more tea tree oil though and now i have this huge almost black scar that still has a bit of something inside. I don't think it's pus 'cause it's clear and i already picked it (i know but i can't help it). I'm so frustrated i don't know what to do! I don't want to leave the house anymore..

It looks like it may be infected. It is wise to go to a dermatologist and get examined. Infections can spread rapidly and make this worse very quickly. They give you a cortizone shot and/or provide antibiotics. Either way, your acne is not mild anymore and should not be treated as such. Try to stay positive and let us know what happens.

Agreed... if you are not yet under the care of a doctor or dermatologist then I'd suggest it's time you make an appointment to see one. I don't think tea tree oil is going to do the job here!
Good luck with getting it sorted! 🙂
