No. I hate proactive with a passion. I just irritated me more. On 5/25/2016 at 8:50 AM, snarkygirl said: Sorry if this is a dumb question...if it worked you'd not likely be on here but just...

It definitely sounds like a nodule. Those are REALLY hard to treat at home, so yes, get to the doctor if you can. If you get another one, do not pick it again. You may get a little pus out, but there'...

Cystic acne almost always scars if the lesions are left on your skin for too long, so if you can, get that cortisone shot =)

...and thank you for the birthday wishes =D

It just keeps coming...

Desert Essence's blemish touch stick. Best thing ever.

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate the support. I am still experiencing the aftermath; I'm waking up to 1-2 new cysts each day so now it's much worse than this picture. My confidence has been pretty...

I agree. I'm done, I've learned my lesson. My skin is STILL freaking out because of it. It's just not worth it to me. I mentioned it to my therapist, and he told me to view sugar as an allergen. I get...

I would pop it, but that's just me. If you do decide to pop it, take a sterile needle, prick the middle and gently squeeze the pus out with two pieces of tissue paper wrapped around your index fingers...

Yay! That makes me happy. Make sure you applying it at least 5x a day for it to fully work. If you want to use at as a preventative, I'm sure that would be fine as it's oddly not drying.

It's kind of hard to tell if your acne is cystic based off that photo. Answer these questions and I should be able to tell you. Are your blemishes always painful to the touch? Do they take a long ti...

I actually think all of your theories are valid, and probable. I also think there is probably a genetic component present as well.

Well, I actually agree with you. For me, sugar and dairy ALWAYS result in breakouts. Conversely, drinking green tea and a lot of water helps my skin tremendously.

It's a blend of essential oils and tea tree oil. It's awesome, and it even works on cysts.

Thanks everyone, I know it's not bad(at least not for me), but it still sucks when you breakout regardless of how bad you've had it in the past. I'm glad I could help you snarky girl. I don't care wha...

Yes I have, and thank you.

I screwed up and ate sugar last week. I feel so pissed at myself. It was my birthday last weekend and I thought I could eat some birthday cake, but no that is too much to ask. These pictures were take...

I just can't help it. I used to have hundreds(I'm not exaggerating) of cysts on my face EVERY day. So every time I see someone that doesn't even have true acne complain, it makes me cringe.

To be honest, there is NOTHING wrong with your skin. I'm squinting to try to see even one blemish. Consider yourself lucky. I used to have literally hundreds of dime size cysts on my face every day, s...

I've managed to keep my skin pretty clear in the last few years, but sugar ALWAYS= cysts for me. Last week was my birthday, so I went a bit crazy with birthday cake and the cookies my mom sent me. Yes...

It sounds like a cyst. Have you ever watched Dr Pimple Popper on YouTube? She usually excises them.  If I were you, I'd take the plunge and try to get the referral. Yes, it will take a whi...

Do you have a picture? Don't try to pop it, trust me on that lol. If it's HUGE you can try to get a derm appointment for a cortisone shot. The only spot treatment that has worked on me is the blemish ...
