What kind of acne is this?! 😔 Anyone have the same thing? Bumps, won't pop, just hurts like hell. Ideas on how to clear it up?

Question

Answer

Cystic acne doesn't pop like normal acne does because it lies differently within the skin. This means that popping it tends to be useless and will probably just cause scarring. This means it is hormonal and I would highly suggest going to a dermatologist who can prescribe something to get it all in check like a certain birth control, antibiotic, or hormonal pills. If this isn't possible for you I would try facial oils, exfoliants, masks, toners, etc. you will have to try different products because everyone has different skin and different things will be more effective on one person than the other. I'm sure some google investigation could definitely get you on the right track tho as far as which products to start off with! Hope this helps!

Answer

It looks like cystic acne but I could be wrong. I've tried so many different things and only recently completely cleared it up by using 2% salicylic toner from my laser place (clear skincare clinics) I apply it at night and the spots are either gone within 24 hours or if they're really big then they usually reduce in size and are gone within 3 days or so. I've never been so impressed with an acne clearing product before.
