A member asked:

What can i do to free my face from acne pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cystic acne: If your acne is painful, it is probably the deep cystic type. It would be unconscionable to deny you effective rx -- if you are offered a trial of isotretinoin, please consider accepting despite the cost and unpleasantness.
