   acne conglobata, not cystic (Acne board)

14th March 2005
well, i was researching alot on the severe types of acne, and seeing many images of both conglobata and cystic acne. and the more i see of these images, i began to realize what i have is not cystic acne...it was conglobata!
which sucks cuz it hurts way more and yes its so much bigger. there are two huge ones on my forehead, and little ones on my temple..when i wash my fash, i cant help but avoid my forehead and temple area. it hurts way to much..and when i gently moist it, it rips and either blood or pus comes out (gross i know) but this is real..and its not good. I heard that its very rare for people to get this and well..guess what..lucky me got it..i never get the good things but always the bad..man..im going back to the doctors because these weak antibiotics (Cephalexin) aint going to do nothing. I researched these pills and they arn't even focused on acne, just bacteria and such...i need accutane, but my doctor wants to try this, and its wasting time, i need the strong ones right away..so i think im going to go back to the hospital and talk with them again...arggggg my stress level was already rocketing and now i find out i have the worse case of acne and im only 16...wow..someone shoot me.

If this is true, you may want to ask them to check your male hormone, or androgen levels. I've read about a few cases of congloblata and some were able to correct this once this fixed their underlying hormonal disorders. Others were able to do this through diet. Accutane may work though, but if it's a true hormonal disorder, it may not work or be effective enough.

Best of luck =)
