      Iā€™ve been on so many diff medications since 2016 and NONE have worked. I have severe cystic acne that makes it hard to go out in public without getting looked at and being embarrassed. Good news is I get to start accutane in 5 weeks!!!! Scared of the side-effects, but Iā€™m desperate lol. CeraVe is always a good brand if you wanted to know

      I went on spiralactone for a little stint I got a rare side effect from the medication that cause fluid retention in my breasts. Very scary and painful. I found a small benefit from going dairy free. Most recently I started using an oil by doterra called HD clear and itā€™s been one of best treatments Iā€™ve tried. If you know what I mean, I had a small normal patch of skin come about from the oil. When the cysts get too painful and bad, Iā€™ve used hydrocolloid bandaids over night. It doesnā€™t get totally rid of the cyst but it helps to reduce its size and pain. Hope this helps.

      I also have cystic acne. No fun at all. Getting some relief from finally seeing a dermatologist. They prescribed 2 ointments, a medicated skin wash, and two pills (Seysara and Sprironolactone). Sending you good vibes!
