Understanding your concern. As per your query you have sudden onset of cystic facial acne occur when clogged pores of sebaceous gland filled with sebum ,dead skin and bacteria get infected. I would suggest you to wash your face with mild soap and cold water twice a day , exfoliate your face once a week. you should apply aloe vera gel and apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day as this is safe and natural extract of cereals. Avoid any steroid based cream and apply kojic acid containing cream. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit dermatologist once and get it examined and go for micro-abrasion and chemical peeling. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics course. Also drink 5-6 glasses of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. Apply Clindamycin gel and Benzoyl peroxide containing gel over the acne.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
