A member asked:
Are acne cysts permanent or do they eventually go away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Will scar up: They eventually heal but usually leave depressed scars. For cystic acne, Accutane is usually required. It's not cheap, pleasant or risk free but it is well worth it for most folks. Good luck.
