[Woman555]

Hi has anyone had a cystic acne I only have one spot on my chin but it hurts so much and is swollen can help on what to do?

Dear Woman555,

Firstly I would, just check, that this IS a cyst/ cystic spot as, in my experience, they don't 'hurt'.... Maybe a Tad uncomfortable, if you bash/ knock them too much.

Assuming it IS a cyst/ cystic spot it may, very well, simply resolve on it's own- failing that a Small operation, to drain it, might be necessary.

I wouldn't worry Woman555 but Do get it Checked, just in case.

Like Andrew I would get it checked, take photo, as swelling and pain generally indicate infection. I know seeing GP in person not easy just now but you could probably upload photo for phone consultation xx
