What is happening to my back? It is absolutely COVERED with huge, deep, angry Cystic Acne.
It started to break out at about 8wks pregnant and has been getting progressively worse. I used to get mild acne on my face when i was a teen and early 20s, and the occasional pimple now & again, but i've never experienced anything like this.
I look like ive got the Bubonic Plague, or Leperocy or something!. The cysts are sooo big and deep and inflamed and painful, and they're everywhere from my neck to the bottom of my back and round the back of my shoulders.
I cant wear any tops that show any of my back now b/c it looks so disgusting - and its summer ffs! Im gonna melt! Even strappy vests show off the acne at the top of my back and back of my shoulders
I've been using Clearasil pads and Benzoyl Peroxide cream (Quinoderm) nightly for the past 10 wks, to no avail...
...and the doc gave me 2 wks worth of Erythromycin antibiotics which only calmed it down a TINY bit (still was seriously bad though) and after finishing the course 3 days ago my back is in worse state than ever - sprouting cysts all over the place.
Has anyone else experienced this? Why is this happening? Is there anything i can do? Hallpppp!
