acne - cyst/nodule - help!?

Question

right now i have 2 semi-big cyst or nodule inflammatory acne on my forehead and near my cheek and it's really bothering me.

What's the best way to get rid of it to prevent scaring? Do I wait it out or what? How long will it take? When the time comes, do i squeeze it to let the pus out? The one on my cheeck right beside my nose is pretty red in color.

Right now I'm using "pHisoHex" (hexachlorophene cleansing emulsion USP) as a wash then I apply "Sebamed deep cleansing facial toner - pH 5.5"
Sometimes I use "effaclar K cream" if my skin is dry.

Are these products ok? Proactiv seems like a good product but 1) it's pretty expensive 2) is there anywhere to get it in stores and not online?

Answer 1

A dermatologist can inject cortisone into the cysts to make them go down and go away.

I would definitely see a dermatologist. Medical treatment will help you.

Supposedly, Vitamin B5 is the rage right now for cystic acne. It might be something you want to consider adding to your diet (the supplement). B5 is water-soluble which means it's generally safe and won't build up to toxic levels with common-sense use.

I don't know if you should squeeze the cystic acne nodules. I would think not. Waiting it out - I think it could take weeks :( Phisohex is pretty darn strong. If it irritates your skin, stop immediately. Anything that irritates your skin will increase sebum production and cause more zits. You should be using some 2 - 5% Benzoyl Peroxide. Clearasil makes a 10% one but it might irritate your skin.

Answer 3

I struggled with acne for years and I finally found the solution that works for me. We have been fooled, tricked, deceived, and just plain lied to. It's time that someone put a stop to it, and everyone learn the truth!

Those of us who suffer from acne have usually been given 2 choices and neither of them work:

1. Over the counter remedies such as cleansers, creams, ointments, etc. These things have been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.

2. Go see a doctor and or dermatologist. They will generally prescribe prescription drugs which include topicals and or antibiotics. This, too, has been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.

I found a step-by-step program that cured my acne and it has never come back. It is amazing and doesn’t use any drugs or doctors. The truth is that acne can be cured…if we know the secret the doctors and drug companies don’t want us to know.

There is a great website: http://acnehomesolution.com
that has all the details. I really suggest you check it out and see if it works as well for you as it did for me.

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
