Cystic acne typically begins with a deep, painful nodule or bump under the skin. Initially, it may feel tender to touch and appear as a red, swollen bump without a visible whitehead or blackhead. Over time, it can develop into a larger, pus-filled cyst or nodule. It is important to seek professional advice for proper diagnosis and treatment if you suspect you have cystic acne.
