Acne Cysts Hurts

Acne Cysts are the most serious type of acne we can have. They’re also the most difficult to treat.

Cysts go deep into the skin and are very painful. So painful that they can sometimes they deprive us of sleep.

So What Causes Deep Cystic Acne?

Cystic acne usually begins at puberty. At this stage in our lives our bodies’ secretes too much androgen hormones such as testosterone.

These hormones stimulate our sebaceous glands causing them to produce too much oil. And we all know that too much oil clogs pores and leads to acne.

Adult acne is usually based on a hormones cause as well. Some women get acne in pre-menopause and menopause where there’s also a hormonal imbalance. Estrogen levels drop, which can allow for androgen hormone dominance.

4 Ways to Treat Acne Cysts

The 4 ways we can do this effectively is through:

Chemical peels are also effective in treating cystic acne. Although peels do not treat our hormones, they do treat the cystic pustules on our chins and cheeks. Click me to read about chemical peels in our acne surgery pages.

Corticosteroids are injected into cystic pustules by a dermatologist. This method speeds up the 3 stages of the inflammatory process. That is:

• the red stage (the inflammatory stage)

• the dark stage (Pimples dry up in this stage)

• the pitting stage (the scarring stage)

This cure works well but there is one complication. The shot can leave permanent depressions in the skin.

To avoid this complication we recommend receiving corticosteroid shots from an experienced doctor. And please don’t allow non-medical personnel inject you.

Also don’t be afraid to ask your doctor if corticosteroid injects is a treatment he/she has often administered.
