Title: Cystic Acne?
Post by gd0001 on 08/30/12 at 07:58:54

Anyone here have cystic acne?
I've read a few things about this type of acne being related to mast cell disorders. Does anyone else have this problem?

I dont get them that often, but they get very swollen. They also improved since i've been on gastrocrom.

Funny you posted this! I just sent a personal message to Deborah yesterday asking about this! Yes, I get them! I was mostly getting them in the inside of my thighs, so I chalked it up to friction (I'm not the tiniest girl!) but recently I got one at the base of my earlobe and one on my neck! So weird! Oh, and I have gotten them under my armpits, which I thought was maybe from the aluminum in antiperspirant deodorant, so I switched to a regular deodorant, but it didn't seem to help. Please keep us updated on gastrocom and these cysts!!! ;)
