See dermatolgist: Accutane is a relaible treatment which works for the worst cases of cystic acne. It needs to be prescribed by a dermatologist registered to use accutane. You may respond to laser .The response can becas quick as 2-3 weeks. If laser is not for you or not effective enough Accutane can work well forvsever cases although on occasion it amy need to be repeated in about a year for a milder case.

Gold: Standard for cystic acne is still accutane, but there are risks with it, and cannot be used if you are planning pregancy. Get it controlled by a dermatologist and then see a plastic surgeon.
