"i am 36 and in the past year began getting cystic acne on my chin, cheeks and temples.  the cysts were incredibly red, itchy, and painful. they never came to a head and seemed to never fully heal.  because they wouldn&#039;t heal, i would pick at them.  last week, i broke out with 17 at once.  i was very embarrassed,  got fed up and saw a dermatologist. he prescibed doxycycline and aczone 2x per day.  amazing results in less than a week!  my &#039;wounds&#039; are all dried up and i&#039;m dealing with moderate peeling now.  it seems as though aczone immediately remedied the redness. i only woke up with one new pimple, but it healed in 1 day."
