Cystic acne. Ugh!

I was hoping I'd avoid it this pregnancy, but instead it has started early.  Yay!  Besides feeling totally hideous, it HURTS. SO. BAD.    Why can't I just get to be one of those pretty pregnant ladies???   I don't think I can deal with this pain until June (and then longer, since I'm sure it'll stick around while I'm BFing).

I hope no-one else experiences the awfulness that this brings.  I really think I'd take a face completely covered in zits over even just 1 cyst - it's that bad!
