Hi ladies I have cystic around the chin:(
there are some you can't see but their there under the skin & it hurts & won't go away, been there for a month straight now.
Any home remedies? I don't have sesitive skin. I was using pure tea tree oil & it was wonderful!:) but my skin got use to it & didnt work well after that. I'm open to pretty much anything.
thanks loves!
xoxo

Leave a raw honey mask on your face for as long as you have time for. It won't dry out skin and the honey is antiseptic. A few times a day really helped my cystic acne (not fully tho)

Try an aspirin paste. Simply use uncoated aspirin and a mortar, mash 2-3 aspirin up and just a couple tiny drops of water. Mix it up. Don't let it be too watery or thick where it just clumps up. Apply it to all areas with a cotton swab and let it sit for as long as it will stay until it dries off. You can sleep with it on but it will probably get messy. The salicylic acid helps the inflammation and should get down to the pesky cyst :)

A honey,cinnamon,nutmeg, & lemon mask works! I also used tea tree oil full strength but my skin got used to it as well & the boyfriend despised the smell so had to stop;( I have been using rose water full strength as toner n aloe Vera gel moisturizer.
I feel your pain cuz I also deal with the same issue!
I'm trying to do organic/homemade remedies but still use OTC benzoyl peroxide n salicylic acid & RX retin-a..
I find that my skin gets used to products n it never seems to wk as well as it did..
I'm always in search of products my skin will love.

I used to get cysts as well. I figured out that my bare minerals makeup was the cause. Stay away from products with bismuth. I'm with Megan, try the asprin paste. That should help shrink them.
