The absolute worst type of acne is cystic acne; it attacks without warning and is highly difficult to get rid of. The road to a cystic acne treatment that works can be exhausting and fraught with disappointment. Everyone is different, and cystic acne can be the result of many different underlying causes.
Antibiotics are the automatic choice for doctors when treating cystic acne. A lengthy period of oral and topical doses may be required to clear acne completely, so be prepared. You have to be careful; an antibiotic every day for 60 days equals resistance to said antibiotic, which could be bad if you were injured and needed antibiotics to fight off infection.
Dermatologists have a tendency to prescribe strong skin peels and even micro-dermabrasion or laser light therapy. This method works for some cases but not others, and results can vary. The question remains as to whether cystic acne is actually a skin condition, or merely a symptom of an underlying problem.
Hundreds of con artists exist online, hawking their own version of cystic acne treatment. These people are often nothing more than hacks, planning to make a quick buck off of desperate people willing to plunk down $39.95 or more for a 'sure thing'. Before trying any 'guaranteed' treatment, check online to see if there are any comments from other people about the treatment.
If you are very brave, you may decide to have your zits lanced like boils. This should never be done at home - a sterile environment and instruments are essential! You may not even want to go down this road - as many doctors point out, lancing leaves open wounds that are ripe for further bacterial infection.
An old wives cure for cystic acne is a dab of raw honey on each zit, or to use an oatmeal facemask to absorb toxins and scrub your face clean. Nodular acne might respond to lemon juice, toothpaste or even a vinegar face rinse. The various methods work differently from person to person because of physiological differences.
A more cutting edge remedy requires a bit of self-discipline - a diet is imposed and herbal pills are introduced. A flushing of the system is usually expected, to clear toxins from the blood, and haywire hormones will be calmed and tamed. Celebrities may tout an acne clearing cream or rinse as being the optimal solution, but do a little checking just in case!
Cystic acne treatment is often time consuming and frustrating, but there are things you can do to help the process along. Eat right, as a healthy body can more efficiently fight off disease and infection - choose foods rich in vitamins and minerals that will boost your immune system. If you opt for a natural treatment, give it time to work - Rome wasn't built in a day!
Battling nodular and cystic acne is never fun. The time and effort treating cystic acne can require may make you feel like giving up but don't! Almost all cases of cystic acne are eventually resolved, and with the many natural cures now available you should in time be able to find the right one for you
