My face has always been great as far as acne goes. Then, out of nowhere, this huge cyst/nodular acne became inflamed on my cheek. I initially thought it was just any other acne so I tried to squeeze it (bad idea!). That's when it quickly (overnight) inflamed to a huge red bump underneath my eye! I went to a derm and she gave me a cortisone shot after draining it. Now, what must be 8 weeks since this sucker appeared, it is still red (it is mostly flat now but some hardness can still be felt). The picture attached was taken a couple days ago.
This is what it looks like now. I texted this photo to my derm and she prescribed me Keflix/Cephaflixin (spelling is wrong).
Will this 10 day course of Keflix work? What is this thing beneath my eye? Is this even acne????
i did a less pwerful accutane course but after a few mnths i had a sudden attack of big cystic pimples for the 1st time.
i was given azithromycin(azithral 500) and to maintain the daily skincare routine.
No offense, but what does that have to do with my question? Are you saying azithral is a better drug for what I have?
