for the past week or so i have had a few acne spots above my nose, between my eye brows. most of them are drying up and becoming less red…but there is one (which is the largest and was extremely painful and red before) that has now became a very hard bump, pretty much skin colored and not very painful unless pushed hard. on the skin its kinda dry, peeling skin but the majority of the bump seems to below the skin. could it possibly be a cyst? should i go to the doc, or do you think it will go away? anything that will help?
fyi, i have been washing my face a fair bit and applying a cream containing 2% salicylic acid and 1.5% hydrogen peroxide (called Clearasil Ultra Vanishing Treatment Cream) 1 to 2 times daily. I also wipe my face with Clearasil Ultra Cleansing Pads sometimes (containing same medicinal ingredients)
I have this cyst right next to my mouth and its about the size of a quarter. It’s hideous. And responding to nothing I’ve treated it with. It’s been about a week, and I think it’s gotten bigger. I’ve tried benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, aspirin mask, clay masks, hydrocortisone, hot compresses, and ice. I can’t go to the dermatologist so a cortisone injection is out of the question. Please help me, I’m literally in tears because I hate going out with people staring at this huge lump on my face.
I’m going to the store in a few minutes so tell me if I should get something.
It’s quite apparent that I’m developping a cyst on the side of my nose. I know that salicylic acid is often used to treat them.
I have a ProActiv ’spot treatment’ that I’ve been using that’s 5% salicylic acid,
In my medicine cabinet I also have liquid Compound W, which is 30% salicylic acid.
Will the salicylic acid damage my skin? Or just help get rid of the cyst. Could I use maybe just a little?
Is this a really bad idea all together?
Help please!
alright so this past 2 weeks or so my face has been breaking OUT with cyst acne (they’re like bumps on my face, semi visual, can’t just pop up and they swell and hurt a lot when u touch them) they wont GO AWAY!
i made a mistake of tryin 2 pop them last night and i learned i shouldn’t have, so now i have one red inflammed one on my cheek.
they’re also a bit dark in color after some of the bumps go away a bit.
HOW DO I GET RID OF IT! ITS DRIVING ME NUTS
i heard TOOTHPASTE (i got plain, crest) works…is this true?
do I just put it on the bumps and just wait like 15 minutes and wash it off? how often do I do it?
I heard its bad to leave it on for the night coz it scars.
Currently I use spectrogel as a facewash, then i use a toner and then I use clindoxyl gel (contains BENZOYL PEROXIDE).
also, is it a good idea to use say, Oxy pads wit 2% salicylic acid at the same time im using this presecription clindoxyl gel?
FIX MY FACE ASAP PLLLLLLLLLEASE!
I would like to know what the difference is between the different acne clearing chemicals and ingrediants like Benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid.
