cystic acne question?
have been dealing with acne since my early teens and am now in my early 20s. i take a daily antibiotic and wash twice a day with prescription face wash. but lately i've been experiencing some cystic acne and its usually on my nose. needless to say its painful and not very attractive either. i have taken accutane in the past and it didnt cooperate with my body so that didn't work. my question is... is there anything over the counter that i can use to lessen the life of cystic blemishes? a cream i can put on when i see one coming...anything that will help? thanks in advance.

Totally, after your face wash, pat dry face, and apply a toner.
Witch hazel (but you can find them for your face) I like Alba
and any strong acne cream will do - I'd place some on the nose after the toner air dries - before bed. (Oxy zappity zit) all good -
Also toner is crucial to the face as it closes the pores.
You can use one more specific for acne (like Proactive)
