Cystic Acne

The Worst Of The Acne Family – Meet The Cystic Acne
By Wendy Simons

Most of the times, people hate acne because the affliction is so very unsightly. Besides, everytime there would be an attempt to clear the face (and sometimes it is spread over body as well) there would be definitely some residue or a scar left behind.

What Is Cystic Acne?

Cystic acne is acne filled with pus. Cystic acne is very unsightly and it seems it is usually due to skin infection rather than anything else. This is a condition, which manifests itself through painful globules filled with pus, which are extremely painful to touch. Generally speaking, cystic acne is big enough; however they do not stretch beyond 5 ml in diameter.

The worst part of this condition is that it is extremely tempting to burst the “bubbles” filled with pus, and once you do it you will have a scar on the face for life. Experts advise that you should never actually attempt squeezing any of this cystic acne because they leave deep scars and also because they are too deep to really remove through squeezing.

In this manner, instead of getting rid of the said acne you will be instrumental of inviting another one’s existence. The best would be to refer cystic acne to a skin specialist/ dermatologist who will advice you accordingly. Fortunately, though healing is slow, the cystic acne will completely disappear in the course of time.

You will find this type of acne mostly with teenagers, which implies that this is triggered by the mechanism of attaining puberty and hence, it is definitely a passing phase. The dermatologist would be indeed the best person to help you with the best treatment and products required for its complete cure.

Those who do not have the patience of consulting with a dermatologist will use any of the over the counter creams which sometimes give excellent results and sometimes are exactly the opposite. Self-medication, more often than not, is not a good idea. Often the condition is highly aggravated because someone used products that reacted and multiplied the cystic acne on the face and on the body.

If you have the time, money and effort then you go ahead and try out a few of the uncharted methods. However, rest assured that only an accredited dermatologist would be able to prescribe something that will alleviate the problems fast and without any further aggravations. This is why it is important that you consult a professional - because in this situation any further aggravation can be disastrous both to your looks as well as skin.
