Hello. About a month ago I broke out on the right side of my chin with 3 cysts. I waited and waited for them to go away but they just got bigger. Finally I went to my doctor and he sent me to a derm who injected them with cortisone and also drained them. He gave me a prescription for Minocycline (200 mgs a day for 3 months) and Clindoxyl Gel. I have been taking the Minocycline for 2 weeks now.
I have the red marks from where the cysts were, some are completely flat but others still have a small bump under the skin. Will the Minocycline clear those bumps out soon? At all? Yesterday I got 2 new small bumps and I'm soo scared that they will get worse. I'm holding off on going back to the derm to get them injected because I'm sure he will say no because they are too small. The rest of my face is clear so I'm wondering if I just have a section of my face that is prone to problems when I'm stressed.
Can anyone give me a shimmer of hope on this problem area? Will the Minocycline get rid of those small under the skin bumps...soon???? Or will I have to get more injections to "melt" those stubborn cysts?
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, I'm very depressed/annoyed by this,
Thanx
 
hey there. I had a horrible problem with cystic acne. My whole jawline was flooded with them. Some 1 on top of another if you can beleive it. I couldnt even turn my head. I was put on accutane and it pushed all the infection out so fast that i swelled up all the time and have gone through about 35+ injections. I still have small bumps where a cyst was, yet the skin looks normal. I have a derm appntment in 6 days.. so im just gonna wait it out and have my derm inject them anyways. I just want them gone! as for the Minocycline, i was on that for about 2 years before i started my accutane. It worked wonders at first, but i guess i was on it for too long, and my acne came back worse than ever. But antibiotic treatments work different for different people. It's worth a shot.


Also, for those cystic bumps.. DONT PICK THEM! im sure you've noticed, but they dont pop! it will only lead to horrible scarring. I made that mistake and went rarabo on those cysts.. and now i have to get laser scar treatment.. just wait it out, or get them injected. NO PICKING!
