Cystic acne treatment?!!?

I've had severe pimples and white heads the last year and a half. They all vanished, but now I get cystic acne! I've been to the dermatologist many times for shots, medication, and consultation. He strongly recommended accutane, but my family doesn't have insurance. I've had laser treatment done along with high dosage shots in korea, this helped my cysts a lot. But the korean derm. also said it was odd that my skin isn't perfectly clear (apparently it was suppose to be after all the treatment). The medication he gave me made me sweat so much, like sweat even when I;m not hot. This made school life impossible, so I quit that after 2&half month of using. Through the last three months of laser/shots/medicine, my cysts went down a lot.

Now they're coming back up and are getting redder! I read on the internet that cysts are suppose to hurt on touch, but mine has no feeling. They just feel like a bump on my skin that occasionally gets itchy. I don't scratch or pick at it, but they just won't go away. They're all in my side jaw areas, a few black spots have already formed. When I got a cyst next to my eye, it cleared up in a few weeks. But the ones next to my jaws seem like they're been there for over a year. Is there any meds that help clear up cystic acne?! Home remedies that work?!

I've tried Benzol cycline (I think thats what it's called)

I still wash my face with Benzol Peroxide (10%) couple times a day

I don't eat greasy foods, I eat mainly vegetables and rice.

I take 1 a day teen advantage, zinc, and Vitamin A every day.

I've tried putting tomato pulp on my face, apple cider vinegar too.

Help!

Bad Skin Problem?

I eat healthier than most people my age- and exercise regularly, I won't say I have bad skin, I have sensitive skin.
I hate my acne(and scars). Ive tried a lot of treatments and stick with those that work.I still get zits though. I think the problem is that I don't like drinking water.I don't like the taste of no taste.=]
Are there any substitutes to drinking water- like vitamin water?
Also what are good ways to get rid of acne?(home remedies,products?)

Which home acne remedy is best? URGENT?

I tried a bunch of remedies to try and make this painful zit I have on my chin smaller for a bbq tomorrow. It's gotten smaller and I want to make it disappear or small enough to cover up. I've heard these are the best overnight treatment. Which one should I use to give the best results?
1. Grind some nutmeg with milk and apply on affected area. Pimples disappear like magic without leaving a mark.
2. Grind orange peel with some water to a paste and apply on affected parts. One of the best acne home remedies.

*And when they say grind do they mean put it in a blender or what?*

THanks! :]
