Pimples under the skin?? HELP.?
I know what a lot of people consider to be acne is not what I am experiencing... I am not talking a couple whiteheads or a small cluster of red bumps on my chin (OMG total freakout & call it "severe" acne..) I have been breaking out on my cheeks with deep pimples, or shall I say dark red lumps, under the skin. They are painful at times because of all the pressure I assume. Its like the bacteria cant escape and just infects my under layer of skin! I have been using Cliniques acne solution for about a week and a half, and all I see is DRY SKIN! How does a topical treatment like this prove effective when I feel like the stuff can't even penetrate the thick scar tissue on top of the blemishes and get to the infection??? Any recommendations from people with this type of acne? Any body experience GETTING RID OF IT?!? I would appreciate any help... This is getting ridiculous.

This is called cystic acne. It is considered severe acne. I don’t know much about it but I will provide you with a few links.

Here’s a link to a woman’s Youtube channel and she vlogs about skincare. She struggled with cystic acne and dry skin so you could probably trust her advice. She also talks about different skin types, and different forms of acne, and talks about different treatments, how they work and why. What’s safe what not. Plus she has an amazing free holistic plan that has 10 videos to treat acne.
