I have cystic acne,i am 22year female.hormone therapy is not working,i have under active thyroid and take medicine.plz suggest me a topical treatment?

I would recommend: that you speak to your own doctor and/or a dermatologist. It is unlikely that an over-the-counter topical medication will work for cystic acne, especially if the hormonal therapy isn't helping. The dermatologist should be able to help you.
