Hello,
I can understand your great concern for cystic acne. Cystic acne are one of the most troublesome condition in acne.
Hopefully the best treatment for the same is the vitamin A derivative- Isotretinoin. It is the drug of choice for all the patients with cystic acne. You can meet a dermatologist and check it out that whether you can be prescribed with this medications.
You have not told us your age, sex and marital status so that we could have given you a tentative idea regarding the same.
There are no soaps or scrubs which can help you in this condition so take best of dermatological guidance.
All the best.
