Severe Cystic Acne

I have a very large cystic zit. The surface is about the size of a pencil eraser but under the skin there is a large hard 'rock' that is not quite the size of a U.S. dime coin. This one has been present for about 10 days.

I also have a second zit just starting to come up as well. It is not visible on the surface, but it has a small 'rock' underneath as well and is starting to become painful.

To give you a little background, I began taking sulphur 30c due to a razor burn rash under my armpit a couple of weeks ago. The sulphur started causing me to express all sorts of things. I started to have mild shortness of breath, which has since stopped. There was lots of burping, which is not normal for me, but that has also stopped. Eczema on my scalp and ears flared up horribly for several days then disappeared. There is still some eczema in the ear canal that has not quite worked its way out but is getting better.

Then I had tiny whiteheads/comedones show up on on my chin and jawline, as well as the center of my chest between and on inside of my breasts. A couple of these developed into small pimples, but quickly went away on their own. The rest of the tiny whiteheads either went away on their own or I used an esthetician's tool to extract the whitehead.

These two zits are exactly where there were two of the whitehead/comedones (that came to the surface taking the sulphur) were that I could not extract with an esthetician's tool.

Interestingly I read in Kent's lectures regarding the affinity of sulphur for coal miners, and felt that I might be expressing a miasm from my great grandfather. He was a coal miner for 50 years and died from black lung.

I have tried hepar sulph. for several days and it rapidly increased the size of the 'rock' from the first zit. It was much smaller to start with. Hepar has worked well for me in the past. In this case it seems to be making it worse.

I have also been using bentonite clay masks on the area of the first zit. After removing the dried clay, I will sometimes get a drop or two of pus expressed from the zit, and sometimes a drop or two of blood. This has given me some pain relief and a small reduction in size.

I have also just come off of prozac after 18 years within the past month, most likely due to healed mercury toxicity. This may not be relevant, but I thought I should include it.

Any help would be appreciated, as I am at a loss for what to do next to help this heal.
