The stuff in the stores don't work. Everything you can think of, even prescription lotions and pills don't work. What permanently gets rid of cystic acne?

The following website seems to give the best answer to your question. IF you do have cystic Acne and you are not being treated by a Dermatologist you need to be according to what I read on this website.
Cystic Acne does not always respond to medications. Why is a question doctors don't have a good answer to? What they have found is a qualified dermatologist is the best doctor to treat this condition.
What they mean by "Qualified Dermatologist" is: A dermatologist who is Board Certified in Dermatology. Any doctor in family practice can treat acne. Any doctor who has done a residency in dermatology during their training can practice dermatology. A Board Certified Dermatologist is a doctor who has taken extra training by way of a fellowship in Dermatology and passed all the requirements of the Board of Physicians to be certified in the practice of Dermatology. This makes the doctor at the highest end of the skill level for this practice.
My suggestion is you stop the over the counter measures as they can do more harm than good. Read the information on the link provided. If you are not seeing a Board Certified Dermatologist then find one. You can call your local hospital patient referral line for help. Remember to ask for a Board Certified Dermatologist.
Treated properly and early it is possible that you will not end up with the disfiguring results this type of acne leaves behind.

I have actually had trouble with cystic acne in the past. Nothing in stores worked for me. The thing that worked best for me was to see a dermatologist. He/she will be able to get a closer look at your cystic acne and ask you questions on when you think it gets the worst. Why you think it flares up, if its stress related or if it's around the time your cycle is. He/she will then prescribe you medicine. Either a pill, a face wash, or both. I have had pills and two different face washes and because of that, it cleared up my face very well.
I'm aware that you said prescription lotions/pills don't work for you, but maybe you weren't getting the right kind.
I would advise you to look up dermatologists in your area and go to them. It was the best decision I made and I feel very comfortable in my skin now and I hope the same for you. :)
