Can Severe Headaches Be Related To Cystic Acne?
Hi, I m female age 26 weigh 154 height 5 6 no major medical issues. Currently I m experiencing a cystic acne breakout and have a large one on my forehead right above my left eye brow almost center between both brows. Since the breakout I have also been experiencing terrible almost severe headaches that develop into migraines for just about 2 days now, the worst pain seems focused in the temples & forehead where the cyst is . With or without the headache, I can feel the pressure of the cyst on my nerves. Are these headaches related to the cystic acne or just a coincidence?

HI
Well come to HCM
If the acne having infection then this could cause inflammation and may cause pain, and if this is not inflammation then this may not cause any pain, as you said if this is migraine headache, then acne is nothing to take with this, headache may be due to some functional elements, hope this information helps, take care, have a nice day.
