Hi. Your Jpg attatchment will not open, could you upload it again?
Cystic acne can be diagnosed from visual presentation- the skin is oily and the lumps are red and inflammed. This responds best to prescription medication (oral antibiotics and topical retinoids). Whilst you are without insurance you should purchase over the counter medications to reduce inflammation and minimise the risk of scarring. Products containing either salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide (Clearasil/Clean & Clear/Proactive) will be of some benefit. Or try Freederm (nicotinamide).
Taking Zinc tablets may also help acne.

Here in the Uk, where I live, we have free healthcare and prescriptions only cost £7.20 (£14 US dollars). Could some other members advise as to good products in countires without free healthcare? Check out Differin's website. This is a prescription product but seems relatively inexpensive.
