I'm 17 and i've had a very large cystic acne pimple below my right eye for about 2 months now. A couple days ago a hole appeared on the side of it and it started to drain, it is still draining slowly. It used to be very tender, and painful when touched but since it started draining it isn't nearly as tender or painful and it has gotten alittle smaller. Is it normal for cystic acne pimples to drain by themselves? Is it bad that mine is draining?
I'm 16 and i've been having cystic ance for about 2 years now. Right now i have 4 cystic acne pimples, 3 are pretty small and one is on the right side below my eye and it hurts so badly and it is the width of a marble. All of them have been here for 1 month or longer and they seem to take forever to go away. I'm most concerned with the one that's below my eye, it's huge and hurts to smile, even to just lightly touch it and i can't sleep on my right side because of it. Oh and i've been using pro active for 1 1/2 months and it has helped alot with the regular pimples but has not helped the cystic acne at all. How do i get rid of my cystic acne?

I have some facial hair growing near my acne. I don't want to go over it with a razor for fear of messing up my acne/pimples by breaking them. Would it be wise to pluck the hair near my acne instead?
I'm 21 and I am so tired of getting acne and pimples already...I thought my body would've grown out of getting pimples on my face all the time at this age..I do have medium length black that is in my face all day so it could be the culperate..But will the acne/pimples ever just stop coming as I get older with age?
Acne is a skin condition characterized by pimples, whiteheads and blackheads. In the severe case there can be pimples with pus and deep scarring. Its a random condition that can affect teens when they reach puberty. Some people in their forties have had it also.
A lot of research is done but the only commonality seems to be oily skin. It isn't a symptom of a more serious disease -- and it isn't dangerous or contagious. It can erode your confidence especially in the outbreaks that result in pustules and scars.
Can anything be done to help. Absolutely. There are many treatments to try yourself. If nothing works you can consult your doctor. There are many prescriptions she or he can try. Just remember one thing. The product that clears your best friend's skin overnight may not help you at all. The next product might be the one that works for you.
Try these six suggestions. If none of them help at least they won't make it worse.
-- Keep your face as oil-free as possible: Wash your face twice a day with mild soap. Liquid is good but a bar soap can be just as mild. Try Dove or Neutrogena. There's a bar soap that has oatmeal in it. This is recommended for eczema sufferers to bathe in. It should be soothing to acne also. Try a liquid cleanser with a mild exfoliate. Remember -- wash your face often -- with a mild product. Dry it gently by patting it with the towel rather than rubbing.
--Several times a day use an astringent to remove any excess oil: If you notice your face looking shiny even after washing you can take a cotton pad and wipe it with astringent. Choose a gentle brand. It shouldn't cause a burning sensation unless it is too harsh. A treatment should sooth your skin -- never make it hurt.
--Spot treat pimples before going to bed: There are too many products to list. Each one is proclaimed to be rated number one in several studies. The company that makes and sells the product will do study after study until they get the result they want. Unless research is done by an independent lab consider it worthless. Anyways, while you sleep the product you choose can dry your pimples and blackheads.
--Follow the basic rules for healthy living: Fresh air, healthy food, 8 glasses of water and enough exercise and sleep. Even if it doesn't help the acne you'll gain other health benefits.
--Avoid stress whenever you can: There are varying opinions on whether or not stress causes acne. Even if the experts aren't sure -- why take a chance.
--Do not squeeze, pick or even touch the pimples: Now go smile at yourself in the mirror. Your acne can be treated. If you're a teen it is likely to clear up completely before college. Remember, everyone should have a few blemishes. That's what makes you human.
If after a reasonable time period of trying these six treatments on your own, your acne is no better, turn the problem over to your doctor. You can be treated with a prescription medicine. If it persists after that -- perhaps you need a dermatologist. They can use treatments to help even the most severe cases...
