Accutane is the ONLY cure for cystic acne. All other medications will manage the acne, but as soon as you go off the medicine, the acne comes back. I know there are alot of warnings about Accutane, but with a good dermatologist watching you carefully, you should be fine.
I know it is expensive, as well. But again--it is the only thing that works. Sometimes you have to go have ';booster' doses down later on (like a year or two later) But still--it is the only thing that really works. It actually strips the internal pores fro the excessive oil production from the inside.
I put all three of my kids on Accutane the minute they started breaking out. I did not want them to have the scars on their faces like I STILL have on my face from cystic acne.
You also really do need a good skin cleaning regiment. .
Pro Active, Neurtragena or Clearasil products are fine--just get the stuff for acne and use it consistently. I also add Oxy 10 pads after I clean my face as it tends t get off the dirt/oils that regular cleaning miss. It's like the rinse cycle in the washing machine. Then add your other topical procucts.
I hope this helpsCortisone cream on pimples???
It will decrease the redness, but it won't make the pimple go away.
