I have adult cystic acne and use tea tree oil. It's the only thing I've found non-prescription that actually works.

Does it work better than Accutane? That was a godsend for me and the only thing that got rid of my cystic acne.
I’m the poster you are quoting. No idea if it works better tha accutane. Neither DS nor I have ever used it.

Stab it with a needle, dry it off, put a hydrocolic patch on it. It will suck it dry. The patches are sold in most drugstores, often say something about treating burns or reducing scars, it is a little squishy, usually three large patches in a box for $5-6. Cut it twice the size of the area you want to cover.

For a single cystic pimple, I'd apply warm compresses in the evening to "loosen" it up. Then something as simple as a dab of tooth paste over night will help dry it up.

Are you talking about one cystic pimple or widespread cystic acne?

Dr. Tanzi's office in Chevy Chase has an emergent appointment service that could get you in quickly for an injection that'll take care of this rapidly. She doesn't take insurance, but insurance may not pay for this anyway. In the meantime, continue with the acne treatment, take an anti-inflammatory, and use an ice pack.

Dermatologist! My mom use to send me as a teenager and they would give me a shot to make them go away.

DD has a massive cystic pimple by her nose. It is red with a white tinge and she said “it hurts like hell.” She has had it for a few days and has been putting prescribed acne cream on it but it won’t go away. Any suggestions??
