Hey there! I'm CodyMD, your AI Doctor
I'm your guide on all things cystic acne. If you're tired of waking up to painful bumps that just won't go away, I get it. Cystic acne is tough, but you don't have to face it alone. Together, we'll figure out what's causing your breakouts, explore treatments that actually work, and build a simple plan that fits your life. No long waits, no judgment — just clear, reliable guidance from me, your AI doctor, trained by real human dermatologists. Let's get started, shall we?
💬 Tell me all about it - or just ask a question.
Here's what happens when we work together.
1️⃣ Start With Your Story First, I'll ask you a few simple questions: - Where are you getting breakouts (face, chest, back)? - How often are you getting them? - Have you noticed any big changes in your routine, diet, or stress levels? Your answers help me understand your skin's "personality" so I can give you advice that's actually useful. 2️⃣ Pinpoint Triggers If your acne seems to have shown up out of nowhere, I'll help you investigate possible triggers. Could it be hormonal changes, certain foods, or a product that's clogging your pores? I'm here to help you track down the cause. 3️⃣ Tailored Treatment Recommendations I'll suggest treatments that match your skin type and lifestyle. I might recommend over-the-counter options (like salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide) or help you figure out if it's time to see a dermatologist. Here's where I can really help:
Topical Solutions:
I'll guide you on products like retinoids, which are scientifically proven to help cystic acne.
Pimple Patches:
Got a big breakout? I can suggest pimple patches that actually work.
Everyday Skincare:
Wondering about the best face wash for cystic acne? I've got you covered.
4️⃣ Ongoing Support Skin care is a journey, not a quick fix. I'll stay with you as your skin improves, ready to offer advice as new questions pop up. I'm here 24/7, ready whenever you are.

What is Cystic Acne (And Why Is It So Stubborn?)
You may have heard of whiteheads and blackheads — but cystic acne goes deeper. Literally. It's caused when oil, bacteria, and dead skin cells get trapped beneath the surface of your skin, leading to those swollen, red bumps that can last for weeks (or longer). It's painful, it's frustrating, and I know it can leave you feeling defeated. But here's the good news — with the right approach, we can shrink, soothe, and prevent future breakouts. You're not alone in this. Every day, I help people understand their cystic acne and guide them toward the best ways to treat it.
