[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is 14 and she has her face completely under control, but her back and shoulders are a mess! They are very sore red boils. Is this considered cystic acne? Would a dermatologist recommend topical or antibiotics for this type of acne?[/quote] It’s cystic (most likely from the way you’re describing it) and she may need accutane to prevent scarring. Topicals won’t work on cystic acne- I don’t know about antibiotics but they would likely work only temporarily. Your derm might recommend antibiotics, then accutane. [/quote]
