Question 4

why might someone suddenly have cystic pimples?

Accepted Answer

Don't ask why: If this is a young person, don't look for an explanation for cystic acne. There's nothing you can change about  hygiene, sex, lifestyle, or diet that will make it go away. You will probably need isotretinoin. If you're an adult, it may be a warning of one of the unusual glandular diseases. Usually it never gets explained. Manage it with strong meds. Don't try to solve it non-medically.

Question 7

how can i prevent cystic pimples from forming?

Accepted Answer

Stronger Rx: I see that you are already on topical benzoyl peroxide but if you are getting cystic acne, you will probably want something stronger. The oral contraceptive pill (if right for you) or spironolactone are options, or your physician may want to add an antibiotic. If your acne is severe and your are offered isotretinoin, consider it. Best wishes.

Warm compress.: Alternate warm and cold and have it evaluated.

Question 9

why do i always get cystic pimples on my chin?

Accepted Answer

Hormonal Acne: Hormonal acne occurs first and foremost around the mouth: on the chin, below the nose, around the sides of the mouth, and sometimes up the jawline.  As hormonal acne worsens, however, it can spread to the cheeks and the forehead.   Other body parts can be affected, too, but only in severe cases, and once it has advanced.

Question 10

show photo of how to get rid of cystic pimples?

Accepted Answer

No: If you are looking for a video to teach you how to pick your face that is a bad idea.  Cystic acne needs prescription medication, as well as topical meds and an entire treatment plan to include laser care and special facial wash.  See your physician for a comprehensive treament plan as well as a better understanding of how to prevent picking and scarring.
