As your doctor I prescribe a hearty dose of Ham on Rye, by Charles Bukowski (the greatest American poet ever).

He had acne vulgaris as a teen and all the docs could do is drill each cyst/boil.
Wasn't any accutane back then.

The dude survived it and the scars gave his face character.

I feel for you, lil bro.
I didn't have acne half as bad but would get 1-3 boils once in awhile, usually on either side of my nose and it would look hideous. Found it hard to look in anyone's eyes because I didn't want to see them looking at my boils.

But you grow out of it...for the most part...I still occassionally get a facial boil but I know better than to touch it every 5 seconds to see if it's gotten bigger. And I don't scratch it either. I leave it alone and it mellows out on its own and goes away.
