@marmarbrooklyn OH MY Did you EVER take me back!  

 

Thank goodness I had the top dermatologist here!  (I had gone to a horrible one first and changed!).

I have had adult acne forever.  I now am having a breakout about every two years.

It comes, apparently, from clogged pores, and usually one is put on Retin A.

 

The cyst is injected with hydrocortisone and there is no way around it!  The light is extremely soothing, and the next day a miracle has happened.  It doesn't feel like a watermelon on your face and the pain is gone.

 

I have dealt with this since 1981!  Pregnancy caused the first one

 

I get injected by the Physician's Asst now.  I don't even bother.

 

I've had injections before going on vacation as well as my professional conferences.

 

If you don't get them injected, forget waiting them out.  They won't go.  That's extra pain and the sections just click by.......
