A lot of big pimples or cystic acne under my jaw? :'(

It came out of no where. Like once a year this always happens and it takes the entire year for me to get rid of them and fade the scars they leave behind :(

I had this when I was in my 20s and ended up taking antibiotics from my GP. I now use Tea Tree Oil if I feel any spots starting under the skin. Don't squeeze, it will make it worse and the scaring will be deeper.

So true, it also happened to me and last time was so strong that i had to go to a dermatologist, so don't wait to make an appointment and also don't squeeze them! Use a light moisturizer and sunblock to protect ur skin. I used clinique products while in dermatologic treatment and my skin is healthy and soft now :)))))

Cystic acne is not extractable and trying to do so will only push the infection deeper into the skin. Because you say you only get it once a year and of its location it seems hormonal. Cystic acne can only be treated by a dermatologist so make an appointment! Also bc cystic acne is scar forming DON'T PICK!!! Good lick

As tempting as it might be, you must not squeeze the acne. Trying to get rid of the pus yourself can leave you with scars or permanent pits! Use a gentle septicide or an anti bacterial cleanser for this skin condition. Your dermatologist may also suggest the use of a topical ointment dependent on your skin type.

This used to happen to me. I think it was my sunscreen but I'm not sure
