We're all aware of how troublesome pimples and acne can be. Each of us has our own story about how these pesky zits appeared uninvited one fine day to ruin our skin (and mood). The most severe form of acne that can stress your skin is cystic acne. It presents as large, red bumps filled with pus that sit deep in your skin and could feel itchy or painful to the touch.
