Big Cysts On Face, Hair Follicles Coming Out. No Relief With Doxy, Clinda. Due To Meth Usage?
my boyfriend recently is getting big cysts on his face.
like a big area under the skin is getting separated from the skin and very dark and concentrated blood plus hard small white things (like hair follicles) come out with or without squeeze
I am worried. he used to (and maybe sometimes now) use methamphetamine (speed I think)
Please let me know if it is related to meth
and how he can cure it? he has been on Doxy 100/d for 2 months. no change.
using clinda topically.. no change..
thank you

hi big cysts on the face is due to cystic acne.it is considered as grade 4 acne.it can be treated by isotretinion 20 mg alternate day for 6-12 weeks.use lipcare cream to lips to prevent chapping of the lips.if no response within 6 weeks go for clarithromycin or minocycline.u can go for surgery if there is no response
