When everything seems to go wrong at once, the best advice is to deal with one thing at a time. The same rule works surprisingly well in skin care.
Some people develop several cysts on the back, one next to another. They can look alarming, but each one can be treated in its own turn.
Multiple cysts are often linked to large oil glands and hair follicles that block easily, especially on the upper and middle back.
Some of them may be quiet and painless, while others become red, swollen and tender when they get inflamed.
A dermatologist will usually start with the cyst that is causing the most trouble, draining or removing it before moving on to the next one.
