Summary
A person described acne with cysts: the cysts have calmed down but regular acne has taken over, which they rarely had to begin with. They were offered Accutane but declined due to mental-health side effects and a suicide attempt 8 years ago; a doctor suggested seeing a psychiatrist and still taking it. One remaining cyst was injected with a steroid and went down considerably in two days. They are still on medications for now, though the face wash they originally used (10%) is unavailable from the manufacturer, so they picked a 5% version.
