What can i do for cystic acne? any home remedies?

No: Deep cystic acne always requires an rx, and probably you will go on at least a systemic antibiotic, which is generally safe. Dermatologists have big guns for this. This is the 21st century and you do not have to endure this if you do not want it. Stay proactive and you are almost certain of getting a good result.

Not home remedy: Some otc products may be helpful like a salicylic acid cleanser (neutrogena makes a good one) and a benzoyl peroxide product. Use both according to the package. If this isn't working, find a local dermatologist to help you out. Good luck.
