Why is my bacne so bad?
I’ve been struggling with bacne for a couple years now, but it has never been this bad. It itches, it hurts, and it’s pretty uncomfortable. My hair never touches my back (it stays up and I quite literally always wear long-sleeved shirts that cover my back). I shower everyday, change shirts regularly, make sure to thoroughly wash my back in my problem areas. It literally will not go away.
It makes me extremely insecure to the point I’ve been wearing swim shirts to the beach. I have literally no acne on my face except for the occasional pimple here and there (maybe once every couple of weeks).
Is this a dermatologist issue? Is this something I can cure at home? I think I may be cursed at this point.

Cyst on Back.
Hey all,
I recently found out I have a cyst, well it was confirmed a few weeks ago by my dermatologist. Initially it was a small bump on my mid back which my wife noticed back in January or February and I've probably had it on there longer than that. I never really noticed it or had it bother me, it pretty much looked like my normal skin but slightly rised, so we took it as just being a pimple or ingrown hair. Well fast forward to mid spring and it sort of started to bother me and give me some back pain.
I suffer from chronic joint/back pain so didn't really think much of it at the time and it was still the the same size maybe slightly larger...the size of a raisin. Finally booked an appointment with my derm and was seen in July for another issue and I brought it up to my DR and they confirmed it's a cyst and at this time it still wasn't that bad, so they said I can either leave it alone or get it removed...at the time I decided to leave it alone...well fast forward to this past Wednesday and it's ballooned to the size of a grape or cherry and it's even more painful and uncomfortable, not an extreme pain, but just annoying. Called the Derm office back and they set me up for a procedure the last day of August. I was hoping they'd be able to get me in next week because boy do I want this thing gone now.
I guess it's better then waiting months to be seen. I'm starting to think it's 100% a blocked sweat duct/gland because I work in Manual Labor so this past week I've been working in an extremely hot and humid building where I've been profusely sweating and sitting in drenched clothes for 9-10 hrs a day, and I believe it seriously contributed to this thing just exploding in size.
How many of youve had one removed? How was the procedure was it extremely painful? What about afterwards? How was the healing process? How much limitations did it place? Will I be Able to go back to work immediately?
I don't know why this thing is stressing me out more than it should 😅

17 days old cheek lesion grew for first 10 days same size for the last 7 days
I’ve had this lesion/pimple on my cheek for 17 days now
During the first 10 days, it gradually grew in size. For the last 7 days it has stayed more or less the same size It is mildly tender but not severely painful It has a raised/white-looking center
During the first week I used azelaic acid on it myself During the second week I started using benzoyl peroxide 2.5%
I saw a dermatologist today They prescribed adapalene 0.1% gel + benzoyl peroxide 2.5% for another 2 weeks i had already been using the benzoyl peroxide for about a week so adapalene is the new addition to my treatment
I’m mainly looking for personal experiences from people who have had a similar lesion that stayed raised for 2–3 weeks
Does this progression sound familiar to anyone? How long did a similar pimple/lesion take to flatten for you?
I’m not squeezing or puncturing it because I’m worried about leaving a scar
I’ve also had pimples repeatedly in this exact same area before so I’m wondering if anyone has experienced something similar

I don’t know if this is a pimple or skin cancer? Any advice??
Ive had this pimple like bump for over a year. It never really bothered me except when I try to pop it from time to time. Very little blood comes out and it burns but then it just raises a little and gets hard and never goes away. I don’t understand. It is a bad trouble spot acne wise or skin cancer? Any advice?

Electric toothbrush helped surface deep pimple?
I read a post on here from a while back that said you could use your electric toothbrush on scars for five to ten minutes everyday to make them fade.
Today I tried it out on a scar that I gave myself from trying to dig out what I thought was a pimple and what the internet said was milia or a cyst (bright white ball, didn't hurt, deep under skin).
A couple hours later, the area was pretty inflamed. I went to look in the mirror and the pimple/milia/cyst had come to a head! I popped it and now it's completely flat.
Can someone explain what happened??? I've been trying to get this thing out of my face for MONTHS.
