So, I've been having a really stressful situation for the past few days, and now, a great big cystic acne is rising on my cheek. It is extremely sore to the touch and far beneath the skin.
And I have NO CLUE how to get rid of it/reduce swelling or pain.
Does anybody know any home remedies I could try out?
And possibly any way to reduce/control stress, so I can try to prevent any more breakouts?

If you want to pop it and nothing's coming out , use alcohol to dry it out.. It's not damaging but it helps

Skin types vary, but these are my tricks I've used when a cystic zit appears out of no where:
Tea tree oil has been my best friend. Lol I dab some on a cotton swab, & apply it to the effected area, & the size is reduced by a lot the next day!:)
My emergency face mask:
Unsweetened natural coco powder. One single aspirin that you dissolve as a paste. 1 spoon of organic honey. 1 spoon of water. Mix all of this till it looks like pudding, leave on the face for about 5 minutes or until dry, it has worked miracles for me :)
Stress:
Praying, reading my bible is something that really gives me peace when things get out of hand. And another great stress reliever is working out:) I hope this helped out in any way dear! Whatever you're going through, I pray you find the peace & stress relief you need! Stay blessed 😘😊💕

Thank you so much you guys! I unfortunately don't have any tea tree oil or alcohol on hand, but I'll take a look in the cupboard for some cocoa powder for sure and see if I can give that mask a try!
Do you think ice may take down the swelling?
Thankyou Letty for the support and lovely words :) <3
