Cystic Acne Treatment
Acne in its easy and mild forms is bothering enough. Severe forms such as cystic acne or nodules are even more of a pain, literally and potentially scarring for your look and for your confidence. There is no wonder solution to get rid of cystic acne but certainly there are treatments to help you out and a numbers of dos and don'ts you should follow. Our advice is intended for mild cystic acne sufferers. For sever cases YOU HAVE TO see a dermatologist to avoid complications ad severe scars that will last a lifetime.
What is cystic acne?
Cystic acne is a severe skin condition. Unlike whiteheads most people have small and visible on the surface of their skin, cystic acne consists of large irritations underneath the skin. The main cause is the spikes in the hormonal activity leading to sebum extreme overproduction. The oil gland gets swollen and the sebum gets hardened before being able to be eliminated through the skin pores. The gland eventually bursts and the result is an inflammation buried deep under your skin.
What to do?
First make sure you checked your "don't do" list. DON'T ever squeeze a cyst trying to bring it to the surface of your skin why? Because you may burst the cyst resulting in terrible acne scars.
2.5% benzoyl peroxide acne creams help killing the bacteria that forms inside Cysts and anti-inflammatory products help by reducing the redness in the affected area. It takes discipline and time not to pick your cysts. They will eventually be broken down by your body. This way there will be no acne scars and no further complications.
How to prevent cystic acne?
Cystic acne can't be controlled by a good personal hygiene because that has nothing to do with it. Preventive cleansers will not make a difference. Instead daily vitamins and products targeting oil gland overproduction will help you.
Vitamin B5 (main component in Vilantae) and Zinc are a couple of great supplements helping with oil gland production control.
Once again, we have to emphasize, in serious cases you have to consult a dermatologist. The very last resort in fighting acne cysts is Accutane with a prescription treatment. However you have to be aware that Accutane has side effects sometimes more serious than acne itself.
