They are very painful and inevitably leave deep scars on the skin. Cysts are similar in appearence to nodes but are pus filled and so very painful. Both these types of acne take a long time to heal and vanish. Pinching them will cause the surface of the skin to break and form tiny holes along with scarring.

Do not go in for any other facial treatments in the midst of an acne outbreak. Use medicated products as advised by the doctor. Acne does leave physical scars. Getting depressed and worried will only increase your problem. So relax and follow a hygienic skin routine
