Very small cysts continuing to appear on Ears. Can’t find cause!

Question

I am 185 lb early 20’s male. I do not have acne, but I do have cysts that are appearing in my outer ears. It is ramping up and they are very small but it went from 1-2 to 5-6 between the left and right ear and I’m wondering if accutane or any other medicine out there could potentially help this issue. Previously I had a small one drained and they believed that it was potentially sebaceous but unsure.

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis. We see atrophic and hypertrophic scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to discuss the best treatment options for your type of skin. .
