Some months ago, I started experiencing cystic acne. That was a first for me since I usually just have normal pimples, especially when it’s nearing my time of the month. If you don’t know, cystic acne is when the spot is deep under the skin, causing a large bump that’s highly uncomfortable, if not painful.
I tried my usual spot treatments (tea tree oil and VMV Red Better Spot Treatment) but they did little. I knew that it’s recommended to go to a dermatologist for cystic acne, but with my student budget, that was quite implausible. So I changed my skincare and spot treatment in an attempt to improve my face even a little. Nothing worked the way I wanted it to.
