Painful acne

They feel pretty deep in the skin and hurt like a bee sting to touch. I'm not sure how I get this type of acne or how to get rid of it.

I'm not a fan of accutane because its a bit harsh on the body but I do think it provides great results for cystic acne. Tea tree oil is a great choice although cystic acne is under the surface so topical agents will slightly help.

I have been to two dermatologists who both ended up saying my only hope was acutane which I refused to take. So I am on my own again looking for more homeopathic remedies to cysts and body acne but I have no idea where to start or what is good as all I've been told to do is take pills.

Also you might want to see a dermatologist. If its deep and painful you might be experiencing cystic acne which is under the surface of the skin.

Salicylic acid should be in your toner exfoliant or moisturizer not your cleanser as listed by someone else. You rinse it off before it actually has time to penetrate

U want a salicylic acid cleanser,unless Ur allergic to aspirin. Aspirin an salicylic are both made chemically the same so if Ur allergic to one u are the other. Or u can crush up baby aspirin and mix it w baking soda as a tad bit water just enough to make a paste. Apply it on at night and it should bring the pimple out enougjt to extract it. Also,u can add some neosporin to it to relieve the pain.
