No cure: Cystic acne can be kept at bay for a few years by a several-month course of isotretinoin. Nothing less will touch it. You have a right to effective treatment. Best wishes.

Benzoyl peroxide: This is the mainstay of treatment for mild acne. It's cheap and over-the-counter. Use it consistently even when pimples are not present.
