Hi,

I can understand your concern for painful cystic acne.
In your kind of cases I prefer to give the most appropriate medicine of Isotretinoin. It is considered to be the drug of choice for the large cystic acne.

You can take a proper guidance and follow up with a good dermatologist to take care of the problem better.

It required full blood examination and related examination by a dermatologist before starting this drug which is a vitamin A ester. You can meet a dermatologist and take guidance for the same. If required I also prefer to give oral antibiotics and intralesional therapy with steroid injection.

Take care.
