I ve had cystic acne for about 4 1/2 years now and am at my breaking point..I ve changed my diet to vegetarian and get lots of exercise coupled with learning how to manage stress. I ve been told i break out cause i wear makeup, however my gut feeling says otherwise..I am wanting to know if HPV can cause cystic acne and if so is there anything I can do to heal it or perhaps calm down on the severity of the constant swelling and pain?
