Strength is not about never having problems. It is about facing them, one after another, without giving up.
Some people have not just one cyst but several, clustered together on the shoulder and upper back. It can look overwhelming at first.
These clusters often form where the skin has many large oil glands and where clothing rubs constantly, keeping the pores irritated.
Some of the cysts may be soft and full of yellow material, while others are firm, red and painful to the touch.
A dermatologist will usually start with the largest or most inflamed cyst, because it is causing the most discomfort.
