Asked By:sammyware in City Of Industry, CA

My skin clears and breaks out in cycles, got impatient and popped a cystic zit,a few times,stupid I know,I feel indentation when I run the tip of my finger over it. How long till I can know for sure if it is permanent indentation (I.e boxcar,icepick etc) or if it's temporary like the one I had on my other cheek that eventually filled in? Also does argan oil and chemical peels help? Thanks !
