Sounds like it's cystic to me if they're under the skin. Those are the worst!  Usually salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide don't do much for those and you have to wait them out which sucks!! I get them all the time on my chin. Try limiting your dairy intake. Cheese makes me get cystic pimples and makes my acne flare up and I have a huge love for cheese so it's hard for me not to eat it lol

Hey acne.org. I get breakouts on the contour line of my face. They are not white heads or blackheads. I don't know if they are cystic acne or if they are "papule" acne. They don't usually hurt, seem to be under the skin, and produce lots of puss when popped. My acne is not very severe so I don't know if it's cystic. Thank you.

Cystic acne might be a sign of internal problem. Diagnose it what to eat and what not to eat. Hormonal usually only small to medium size acne but not amounting to large cystic acne. Take healthy diet and proper supplement
