I have bad cystic acne on my face where my beard should be. It started when my facial hair started growing in around 17 and it has been from getting bad to semi-better and then bad again for 2 years now. I've tried everything from prescriptions, home remedies, over the counter, pro active, murad...... basically everything except accutane. I'm wondering if anybody knows of anything that worked for them with this type of acne. I'm leaning towards the accutane because I am absolutely sick of the pain, embarrassment, dryness, and wasted money associated with this acne. Any suggestions?
You should absolutely try accutane, because that's what's made for. I don't have cystic acne, but mild to moderate inflamatoy acne, and wanted to be put on accutane, but my dermo wouldn't let me. But I would do it if I were you, because it would probably be the the thing that would work best on your type of acne.

Cystic acne and junk food
In order to get rid of cystic acne, it’s an excellent idea to avoid junk food. Some people, no matter what they do in terms of diet, exercise, and general lifestyle changes, continue to have cystic acne that requires medical treatment. You may be an example of the extremely fortunate individual whose skin responds just to changes in diet. It's unfair, however, to suggest that an improved diet will be a panacea for all people with acne.
Obviously, if an individual notices a connection between eating a certain food, for example, chocolate, shell fish, spinach, fried foods, and breakouts, he or she should avoid those foods. But not everyone has such clear flags.
But food is not the only cause for cystic acne. Frankly I sometimes wonder if more people don't have adult cystic acne because of our toxic environment, including our food. Or maybe part of it is that everybody didn't feel as great a need to be perfect in the past. Maybe more people are seeking acne treatment now than in the past, I'm not saying that seeking treatment is necessarily a bad thing; if help is available, why not take advantage of it?
My advice is to press the doctor for something else and if it doesn't work seek a new doctor who will prescribe Accutane or something similar for a five-month course. Cystic acne is just too unpleasant a condition to be lived with if there is a medication that can control it and the risks are reasonable.
