Acne Cystic Lesions

What are the best prescription meds for Cystic Acne?


I was diagnosed with Lupus in March and have been very sick. I have had symptoms though for 7 years. Recently I have started having whiteheads all over my face that re-occur all day and over a dozen spots of cystic acne on my jawline, neck and chin. The cystic acne takes at least 2 weeks for each lesion to go away, but by that time there are several new ones. It is painful and ruining my skin. I saw another post on here that said they did not think Lupus had any relation to the cystic acne problem, but I am sure it does. I have never had acne like this in all my life, and whiteheads are an over abundance of white cells which makes sense because of the immune system issues with Lupus. I have tried all home remedies and over the counter meds and nothing is even touching this. Is there a very good prescription medicine for cystic acne that works with Lupus and does not have a bunch of ugly side effects,& that is not steroid based as I cannot take those? Thanks for any input you may have

Wow I'm sorry to hear this, I guess if it is lupus related go to your doctor or a dermatologist, they can help you more than anything, keep your face clean by washing it twice a day. I'd recommend going to lush, its a store with only natural products so it helps a lot. Drink water, and keep a healthy diet. If this persists, laser isn't a bad way to go. Good luck.

Acne Vulgaris - Prevention Tips and Treatment Methods

Acne vulgaris may be present in the first few weeks. The most common trigger is puberty, when surges in androgen stimulate sebum production and hyperproliferation of keratinocytes. Symptoms of acne include whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples. These can occur on the face, neck, shoulders, back, or chest. Pimples that are large and deep are called cystic lesions. Cystic acne can be painful; other types cause no physical symptoms but can be a source of significant emotional distress. Lesion types frequently coexist at different stages. Acne vulgaris may also be influenced by genetic factors. Medications that can promote acne include steroids, lithium, some antiepileptics, and iodides.

Treatment may improve and even remove acne scars. Trimethoprim is also sometimes used. Isotretinoin is a systemic retinoid that is highly effective in the treatment of severe, recalcitrant acne vulgaris. The common combined oestrogen/progestogen methods of hormonal contraception have some effect, but the anti-testosterone, Cyproterone, in combination with an oestrogen is particularly effective at reducing androgenic hormone levels. Laser surgery has been in use for some time to reduce the scars left behind by acne. Chemabrasion, which uses chemicals to peel away top layers of skin. Certain low-dose birth control pills may help control acne in women who tend to have flare-ups before menstruation.
