Hey guys I've been on this site for years but today I'm not looking for a new cure but to share what finally worked for me. I struggled with moderate/severe cystic acne for 3 years. I'm 28 f. To save me typing ten paragraphs on what all I tried I'll just say this.....you name it, I tryed it. Literally not exaggerating. So about 7 months ago I went on sprintec. A couple months ago I noticed less cysts. During this period of time I noticed the location of my break outs where changing. It was weird. Like for a few months they where ALL on my jawline then 1 month they where ALL on my forehead...I'm still confused about what's the meaning behind this but I was use to them being everywhere at once. The fact they started teaming up in certain spots alone was trippy Then like I said a couple months ago they lessened by like 90 percent. I had always wanted to do caveman regimen but was always just too broke out to even think about not scrubbing that s off lol so after I noticed it was fading dramatically I started washing with water only. Some nights no washing at all....that was the icing on the cake for me, I had a few more cysts come but after a few weeks of not washing it's like my cysts completely went away. I can't even remember when I had 1. I'm currently on my rag about to start month 8 on sprintec and I have 1 tiny pimple on my chin that's not inflamed or even noticeable. It's a miracle. I'm eating cookies and milk and I don't break out. I'm drinking soda again and I'm not regretting it. I think a ComBo of not washing and leveling the hormones is what did this...but I give the credit to God leading me on this path of healing. The same can happen for u just don't give up and listen to your heart.
