I am a 25 year old woman who is in perfect health with one exception, I have suffered from chronic cysts and gland blockages all my life.

I have had:

1) A grapefruit sized dermoid (sic) cyst on an ovary;
2) A grape sized cyst on my buttocks;
3) Blocked glands in my armits and groin which required surgical removal. (One in my armpit was the size of a golf ball!)
4) Several largeskin blockages behind my ears that needed medical attention and swole to the size of grapes;
4) I don't have any diagnosed acne or severe problems with it, but whenever I get zits, they turn into large lumps with no head that take ages to go away.

All of the doctors I have seen (from oncologists, GP's and dermatologists) say that there is no underlying issue that I merely have a combo of bad luck and small pores.

I don't have excessively oily skin.

Has anyone had anything similar? Have you been diagnosed otherwise? Any natural preventative tips?

It seems you had multiple sebaceous cysts and also hidrenits supprativa.
this is ,many times, secondary to sub clinical agenesis or in layman terms- partial underdevelopment or even non development for the sweat glands-or rather the oil producing glands.
keep your self well hydrated, avoid hot and moist situations, regular baths, early antibiotics such a cepahlexin or bactrim will avoid complications.
keep a derm doctor on your payroll!
