A member asked:

I'm curious as to what has worked to cure acne cysts?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cystic acne: When it is this severe, it's time to see a dermatologist abut accutane. It's not pleasant or risk-free but it is well worth it. Especially if a teen is affected, i'd urge you to get this addressed now.
