i've had almost the same thing recently. sometimes a blackhead or a closed comedone gets very inflamed for unknown reasons really. i think it should be treated like a cyst - so no popping or touching,...

I'm on ultra low dose acccutane (5 mg every other day) and I was wondering, does it anyhow affect how wounds or tears heal? It's just that it seems for me that every injury stays longer on my skin, ev...

hi! i know it's late but i have a question to you all.   i'm underweight but i don't have an eating disorder. i was always really thin, maybe due to metabolism, i don't know. i eat normally but...

i also get sometimes stuff like this on my nose, even now, on low dose accutane. i think these are very small whiteheads - no need to pop them, in my case they go away quickly on their own but maybe i...

it would be hugely helpful to post a picture of you before you started, I am not sure how much Accutane to take, as I class myself as having mild acne too, but some people on these logs literally have...

Sounds like you are touching it. Stop stop stop touching it. The internal spread happens when we touch...trust me, I know the hard way. Use Mario Badescu Buffering Lotion for cystic acne at night,...

I would definitely start using the topical clindamycin... at least I would... any kind of antibiotic cream would help. If it has a black dot at the top that could be a spider bite, unless you are cert...

If you want to pop it, I was research the best ways to pop a cyst... or you can get it extracted by a professional. Be very careful... when you pop a zit like that it can break down the walls around t...

If it is pretty painful I would assume it's a cyst... I have had many in the past when my hormones were out of whack and I was eating poor diet that included dairy and lots of meat. I am surprised you...

Don't stress too much about it -- will only make it worse! Easier said then done, I know... Is your derm's office 2 weeks booked out? I would still schedule something because these types of cysts can...

Try getting into a skin clinic or call your dermatologist and ask to get in for a cortisone shot, your blemish looks like a cystic pimple, which can take days or weeks to heal. By getting a cortisone ...

So I had a closed comedone on my chin for about a month. It was not very big but noticeable, white or maybe flesh-colored. I didn't touch or squeeze it at all. Today I woke up and the closed comedone ...

This topic is soo relatable in every way.   I'm 17 and acne feels new for me. It started about a year ago, before that I used to have 100% clear, dry skin. I guess puberty is the one to blame. M...

don't worry. if a lot of pus came out, you're definetely okay - the pimple is gone, your skin just needs some time to recover. it depends on a person, for me it takes around four days. on the first da...

I didn't finish my course of Accutane yet, but my boyfriend who have been through 20 mg a day for a year said that after he had finished the course he has been experiencing breakouts for a few months ...

I was also scared of Accutane, especially because my acne was really mild, but I was very depressed and I've been diagnosed with body dysmorphic disorder, that's why finally I've decided to go on Accu...

I know a lot about anxiety, depression, self-hate and feeling of hopelesness connected to acne. I've been through it, I was diagnosed with serious body dysmorphic disorder, I'm still on therapy and st...

27th day It's been almost a month! I'm sorry for the long break but I've been to the countryside for holidays (without internet). I can say one thing: people with mild but persistent and depressing a...

14th day End of the second week. Face is still quite clear, waaay better than before Accutane. That persistent pimple I've had on my cheek went away and now I'm only dealing with a small red mark. No...

Hi! I'm on my low dose accutane course (5 mg per day) and I didn't change the amount of alcohol I drink at all. Actually, a few times I took my pill and had some beer immediately after. All my blood ...

I'm really confused about what cysts actually are. My acne is very mild, especially now when I'm on low dose Accutane. I've never had a cyst before. From time to time I get a small, "blind" pimple wit...

5th day   No more Accutane this week. I'm having a two days break (Friday and Saturday) and then I start taking pills again on Sunday. Of course, I'm doing that because my dermatologist told me...

I can relate so much to your post. I have mild acne but it looks awful and disgusting in my eyes. I've just started a low dose course of Accutane (25 mg per week). My derm prescribed me it even thou...

it will go away on it's own after a few days. sometimes it helps to put some zinc oxide cream or allantoin cream. when i use one of these products on a popped pimple or a wound, it seems to heal faste...

Okay, so I'm doing it. Finally.   I'm buing my first box of pills tomorrow and starting from Monday. I'll keep you updated on how it is going, because I know that there are many people intereste...
