A member asked:

I tried to pop a big blackhead on my chin, but it did not come out.it looks red and big now.how can i heal it faster ? does honey or differin (adapalene) help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Acne Cyst : May need a cortisone inject from a dermatologist. Otherwise use warm compresses and don't poke and prod at it differin is effective in treating comedonal acne not so effective for cysts ... Honey wouldn't help.
