Default I am still trying it out....

I read on another message board about what has worked on cystic acne. I have some disgusting cysts on my cheek, and every night I have been following this:

Purchase some garbanzo flour (aka chick pea flour or gram flour - depending on location) from the health food store. Mix it with water to make it into a somewhat runny paste. Use it as a mask. At first, I used it for about an hour or so, and now I use it every night for the whole night- yes, you will look silly with a bright yellow crust all over your face, but I swear to God, it is pulling the cysts out!
Be sure you soften the mask with water, in the shower, or with a soft cloth - because this stuff is like glue and difficult to remove without pain if you don't. It's working for me and I have only been using it for 2 weeks. And, yes, I have tried everything from antibiotics to Accutane to ProActiv Solution. This is working and it's totally natural!!! BTW, it cost about $4 for a 2lb. bag which will easily last me the rest of my life. When you make the mixture, use no more than a teaspoon or you will have way too much! You can also add other things to it:
Lemon juice - to remove excess oil, but that is redundant because the flour does that
Tea Tree Oil - haven't tried it yet, but will soon
Turmeric - yes, the spice - a very small amout - like a pinch - it really cuts down on the red spots - I use this!
Almond Oil or Honey - as a moisturizer - I use it after I wash off the mask

Hope this helps someone!
