Q: Facial Cystic Acne - I no longer have any self esteem left

Hello, and thank you for your concern.
Ever since I was 12, I started getting cysts to either the left or right of my nose; usually around the month of August of September(close to the start of school), but I have gotten one in the months of July and January. These things grow big, maybe an inch in diameter. They flare up red instantly. I'm 15 now, and I no longer have any self esteem left because of these. I'm afraid to show my face in public and at school, and I've never been able to sustain a relationship since when I got my first one. I've been to the dermatologist on countless occasions. When I visit them, they just drain out all the liquid, and it leaves a scar. I now have 4 scars on my face. I just had a breakdown because just last week a cyst flared up. It's not red yet, (maybe because of the minocycline that the derm. gave me). But, I have a feeling that it will flare up bigger and turn red really soon. I guess this is already going to be scar number 5... the scars are very noticeable by the way. What is the cause to these things??? HELP ME Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad
