Good advice in this thread.
Let me add in: For christ sake, find a doctor who wants to help you.
I can't stress this enough.
Many doctors don't want to help you... they just want your money, and for you to be on your way.
Keep going to DIFFERENT doctors, until you find someone who WILL HELP.
If you like your primary care, start by asking (demanding if necessary) that they refer you to a competent skin doctor to see about the cysts.
If you're PC is being incooperative, DROP THEM LIKE A SACK OF HOT POTATOES! Try another one! And another and another, until you find someone who genuinely wants to help you.
This might be daunting, but consider trying female Primary care physicians. I'm sure it's an unfair generalization, but I've heard a lot of good things about PCPs being more compassionate and caring; more willing to listen and work with you instead of just "knowing what's best and telling you what that is" like a lot of doctors do.

It sounds to me like toxins in the intestinal tract. A short fast (24 hours if you can stand it with plenty of water) followed by utilization of a colema board. You'd be amazed at what comes out. Skin problems often suggest toxicity of some kind.

I was fat, constipated, had terrible acne, leaky gut, bad digestion, bad body odor, just an overall feeling of dirty/weak. It's been a long three years and I have become a different person. I started eating really clean. Organic whole grains, vegetables, fruits, a little bit of dairy. I cut out all the nasty refined food. I drank more water. Started doing yoga. I have fasted for over a week twice now. I oil pull everyday. I recently gave up meat and so far it feels good. To sum it up, I have lots of healthy habits.
Now here is where I have a problem. It's like my body won't get better. It's like I won't heal. I get these huge boil like cysts under my skin. I have scars now from getting them so much. They go all along my back and around to my face. It is just so frustrating because if most people just gave up sodas or something they would feel a zillion times better. I am eating very healthy and still get sick, wtf? Aside form the cysts, I feel emaciated. I am 6'3" and 165 pounds on a good day. It seems very difficult to maintain a healthy weight. I also feel really weak like my muscles are fucking putty. What do I do? I go to the doctors but they give me antibiotics for the skin and tell me I'm fine. The antibiotics don't help, it might get a little better but as soon as I come off of them it attacks again, worse then before. So wtf?
From my experience it can take a lot longer then three years to overcome a lifetime of bad habits. It sounds to me like your body is still cleansing. You might look into a series of colonics or even better getting a colema board and doing your own. I think you should stick with the program and keep refining it and eventually you will get better I'm guessing.
Don't underestimate the benefits of learning deep relaxation and positive visualization.
I'm proud of you for making all these changes. It must have been intensely challenging.

SO TRUE. It's something I have to remind myself of, that I am still healing my body and mind from decades of neglect and abuse. We gotta be patient and gentle with ourselves on our journey towards health.

i can seriously vouch for enemas. they have helped me numerous times int he past. when i first stopped eating junk food, fast food and sodas and shit, i felt so horrible, gassy, bloated, etc. and i started giving myself an enema once a week for 2 months and i cant even tell you how much better i felt afterwards. there for a long time i was giving myself one once a month, but now its been like every 3 months.
to those of you who havent ever had or given yourself a colonic cleansing, i highly advise it. sure it seems wierd at first, but its worth it.

Yes, even enemas are very good. And easy. And cheap.
They have greatly helped me also. I went on a cleansing diet about a year and a half ago. I'm still working on it. I plan to extend it another year because I still feel I'm cleansing.

I have been looking into doing an enema for some time now. My problem is that I can't find an empty enema bag and tube. The ones from the store come with all these strange chemicals in them. I just want water. Anyway, I guess I should get one off the web. What would you guys recommend. As soon as I get the gear I was planning on doing a coffee enema to help flush the entro-hepatic circulatory duct (basically the liver).
Thanks for all the replies.

i plan to keep my cleansing integrated with my diet and fitness routines. personally i feel that there are so many toxins in our world anymore, that constant cleansing is necessary. its a never ending battle.
