Every once in awhile I'll get a pimple in the same area on my face. It's definently cystic acne but usually I'll only get one. My skin has been fine for like 4 weeks now out of nowhere I get one. Anyone know any ways of preventing getting these at all? I have gone to the dermatologist. She gave me minocycline was on that for 2 mos. for rosacea. Rosacea cleared up. But since I stopped taking it now I have cystic again. Could it be hormones?

If you recently stopped taking the monocycline, it may be that the antibiotics are just leaving your system and not offering you that protection against your cysts. Perhaps your dematologist could recommend a maintenance therapy.

If you’re looking for accurate acne information, best to see a dermatologist. Some people believe doctors are predisposed to take the easy way to deal with acne… prescription drugs. But, with many, this simplistic answer may not be the appropriate course of action. Some feel that such prescription drugs just treat the symposium and not the underlying cause. But, a local dermatologist is still your best starting point.
For me personally, I discovered a great informational acne treatment site. Not only is there good information/articles but I got their audio e-book and following it’s advice can now say that my acne is a thing of the past! Keep in mind, were all different and there are various types of acne, so what works for some may not be totally effective for all.
Bottom line, hang in there, you will get past this! Sincere best wishes and good luck.
Oh, by the way the site that helped me is:

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.
The secret is never to touch the spots

The best thing for that is a combination of an anti-androgen hormone for 6 months(eg diane35) and roaccutan for about 2-3 months(providing you don't intend to get pregnant in the next 6 months). Ask your derma

i used to have trouble with that then figured out i needed to avoid eating cheese! it worked for me, though a dermatologist would tell you there's no connection. try experimenting with some foods that might trigger an outbreak. good luck. also, tetracycline maintenance dosage might help - did for my teenage son.

I get the same thing sometimes. My mom said they could inject it with something to make it go away. Ask your dermatologist about it...
