I use Clearasil Ultra the tinted acne cream and yeah, it works.
I had this bad acne. I guess small cysts? They were there for years. (Not joking) in the same spot on my cheek.
That part is so dry right now. it's peeling and I don't see any bumps. Does that mean they are gone?
And how do I clean my face?
I heard scrubing or scratching the dry skin off is bad.
Do I wash it and softly scrub it off OR put more cream on it OR put lotion on it?
Additional info, added Sunday December 31 2006, 4:24 am: I know this question seems pretty lame. But like I said, I had that acne there for years and I've been trying everything to get it to go away.
DefinedEyes answered Sunday December 31 2006, 11:53 am: I get cycstic acne too.
They come in the same spots like everytime I get it, and they hurt, and they are so ugly.
Usually once it heals and goes away,
I use clearisil ultra deep pore clensing pads. It drys my skin out and prevents from getting more breakouts with cystic acne. And usually after that I put on clinque Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion, so it doesnt peel or anything.
having cystic acne, thats what I assume you have. But they dont really go away, and they are harder to treat because they are so deep down in yoru skin, fluid under the skin. You can however, go to your dermitologist and get pills that you can take, that will heal it and prevent it from happening, from the inside, so you will break out even less than normal. :)

dawnofangels answered Sunday December 31 2006, 6:27 am: Personally, I hate clearasil...everytime I have used it it has broken me out. I use Neutrogena on the spot acne treatment and sea breeze wash. I've used almost every kind of precription medicine for acne and these are the only two things that work for me. But Anyway yeah I have had the cysts things you are talking about. They can come back once you get ride of them so I would continue putting the cream on the spot just to be safe. Also do not try to peel or scrub off the dry skin it just makes it worse. Put a bunch of lotion on it (I use Pond dry skin cream) and let it heal itself. Hope I've helped! [ dawnofangels's advice column | Ask dawnofangels A Question ]
