Dr. Amy Miller answered

Specializes in family Medicine

Cystic acne: It'd be best to see a dermatologist first. Sometimes, though, cystic acne can be a symptom of deeper problem. Sometimes hormonal abnormalties or even just flucuations can cause acne. An endocrinologist (gland specialist) can be helpful.
