Ovarian cysts tend to come and go on their own, I had one and didn't need any treatment other than finding ways to deal with the pain. Are you talking about treatment options for the cyst or the acne?...

I'm sorry you are struggling right now. I'm 18 and have had acne since I was probably 12 and in the past year it got really really really bad, worse than it has ever been. I understand how frustrated ...

I don't think antibiotics are the right choice. They kill good bacteria in your gut which will in the long term affect your overall health, and they would only temporarily reduce acne, especially if i...

In response to the other posts in this, I don't think antibiotics are the right choice. They kill good bacteria in your gut which will in the long term affect your overall health, and they would only ...

I'm so sorry that you are struggling with this, I know how much acne sucks. I'm glad that you have a healthy mind set towards your situation though and realize that there are much worse things in the ...

I think you should be using a moisturizer, especially if you have oily skin. A moisturizer won't make your skin more oily, it will help to balance out your skin and prevent over oiliness. You might wa...

My brother had back acne really terrible in his late teens and early twenties, he would get full blown gigantic cysts on his back, and after a couple years of dealing with it, it just went away on its...

Something that helps me with swelling and redness is crushing up aspirin tablets,mixing with water to form a paste, and then applying for a couple minutes. Obviously don't do that if you have an aller...

I would recommend getting thayers witch hazel off amazon, and spray that on your face after you wash your face, and once or twice a week use a bentonite clay and apple cider vinegar mask. Also mix a d...

You should see a dermatologist so they can figure out the problem and how to treat it. Sorry you are dealing with this

I would just wait it out and keep with your normal routine because changing things in your routine may cause your skin to freak out and get more acne, which wouldn't be good. Hopefully it will pass an...

If it's not hormones then I would look at food, some people's acne is caused or made worse by the food they eat. You could try getting an allergy panel done at the doctor to see if you are allergic to...

You could be having a reaction to something in your skincare regimen maybe. I would try stopping the bp for a little while and try calamine lotion for the itching. If it doesn't get better you should ...

Have you tried a warm compress on it? That's all I can think of

I've always heard the you shouldn't exfoliate more than like once or twice a week, so you may be exfoliating too much and it's irritating your skin. I pretty much never exfoliate because it's never he...

I think it just depends on how your skin reacts to those things? Some people have horrible diets and never breakout ever, and other people have immaculate diets but have severe acne. If you think that...

I've heard really good things about thayer's witch hazel, and tea tree oil for spot treatment. The only thing that has actually really helped my skin in the past was clindamycin cream, and tretinoin, ...

You're probably right about it being the foundation, I used a foundation that broke me out only on my cheeks and they were big painful bumps. I would use the foundation, wash it off, and then the next...

Hey there, I'm 18 and have almost the exact same type of acne on the sides of my mouth. You really should not pick at it because it doesn't help it go away faster, and it ends up leaving a dark mark t...

I think hormone testing would be a good idea, I plan on asking my doctor about that soon. Maybe the results from that will explain some things and help guide the path a bit. Are you still eating a pla...

Idk man, crack open a cold one with the boys at your own risk. I'm not a doctor

I think both alcohol and accutane are metabolized by the liver so it's putting a lot of extra strain on your liver by drinking while taking accutane, because accutane is already so rough on the liver....

You could try retin a cream, you have to get it from a dermatologist. Retin a helped with some of the acne around my mouth, but didn't help other areas so it may or may not work for you. Also try chan...

Sorry to hear nothing is working for you. I also had a little kid point out my acne the other day, she asked if I had chicken pox! Lol. I just want you to know that your acne in my opinion doesn't loo...
