I just started getting cystic acne a few months ago. My mom says she started getting at about the same age. It just keeps coming back and spreading. It's tough because I'm single and it really looks bad. I know exactly what you all are going through, I am 25 BTW.

My doc put me on an antibiotic called Minocin 100 mg twice a day.

I've also been using Benzamycin topical gel for a few weeks now.
