tracy521 277 Share Posted April 18, 2012 what i would do is call every derm in the area and see if somebody can fit you in. tell them you need cortisone shots for some large size cysts. i bet you will find somebody that can get you in tommorrow or friday. good luck.

gia1 13 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Try taking a really hot shower so the steam loosens and opens them up and maybe they will drain on their own or atleast come to the surface. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alexis Little 10 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I used to get those so bad before starting Accutane I feel your pain. I had too many all interconnected so if one ruptured it would just refill. Eventually infection took over and I had to use antibiotics before going on Accutane. I used a hot compress. Basically, take either a wet cloth or paper towel and heat it up in the microwave or boil water. When it isn't too hot to touch then place it on your face for as long as it is hot. I did this a LOT when I had a couple that would rupture. It helped it heal so much faster than they did before I figured this out. You're supposed to do it for 15 minutes but I did as long as I felt necessary and as often as necessary. If pain is a problem use ibuprofen. The pain is caused from imflammation and ibuprofen will help. I don't miss those days with cysts that large. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
