"not worth it! there are other methods to clear up the infection. try an antibiotic first. i have had to be on antibiotics for years now to keep the cystic acne manageable. i tried accutane and i regret taking it for the six days that i did. may have issues forever. now i&#039;m back on a normal antibiotic with zero side effects. also, i started using a home made scrub my sister in law made me. :) hope this helps."
