acne_battle 6 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I would try putting a hot compress on it first. Try a green tea bag compress wrapped around in a paper towels. Sometimes, that works wonders for me. Also what is your regimen? Have you seen a dermatologist? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HolisticJane 2 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I suffer from these planet sized cysts myself. I find that icing helps the inflamation. Don't put the ice directly on the area but wrap in a paper towel. Hold it for about ten minutes, take a 15 minute break and put the ice on again. Repeat this for about an hour or two. Then I use a 2% Salicylic acid toner over the area and let it dry and then use 10% Persa gel in a thick layer and leave it alone. Don't pick it, the more you irritate it the worse it will get. If you get the kind that come to a head, I suggest warm compresses or Molly's suggestion of the Green Tea Bag. Then ice and bp cream. Normally after I ice and treat with BP, I just go take a nap and wake up and it looks better. Drinks lots of water and green tea. Take an anti-inflammatory like Aleve or Ibuprofen if you can. Benedryl can help too with inflammation. It sucks but the more you irritate it, the worse it's going to look. I suggest a tinted BP cream if you want to go out. Relaxing is good. I think sometimes we get very riled up when things like this happene and it makes it worse. Avoid caffeine if you can. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wynne 131 Share Posted February 25, 2008 See bottom link in my signature. If you use heat, that will merely inflame the pimple more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
