What options do I have for a really stubborn clog?

I've had a small bump on my cheek for 4 months now. I have tried to pop it myself but I cannot get it to go away. I've tried taz and retin a but all it does is peel away the top layer. I went to an esthetician yesterday and she prepped skin and gave it 2 pushes with a comedone extractor and said it's too deep. Does something like this call for a cortisone shot? I don't know how to make it go away.

I've had bumps for months like you do. And nothing worked not even a cortisone shot. However what worked for me was raw honey applied to it for about 2 hours a day for a week. Even the most stubborn bumps have gone this way.

If it's so deep, topicals won't really be effective. Do you take any supplements?

No I'm on spironolactone to control my hormonal acne. I really don't get regular acne, either cysts or these really deep clogs. It's so frustrating.

How long were you using your dermatologist prescribed retin a?

I've had the same problem since I was 8, I'm 14 now. I've tried a lot of home remedies and nothing has worked for me. You should see a dermatologist if you have the money.
