Cystic Acne Natural Treatments

I have some major cystic acne. I've tried everything even laser treatments!?


Can someone plz suggest some natural remedy that will get rid of my cystic acne??? I'm tired of looking like a junior high aged kid.

Exercise and healthy diet.
It is the only thing that keeps my own skin clear.

Get into aerobics. Outside running is best. The breathing of fresh air really makes a difference in health, energy, mental patience, skin quality, diet, and weight.

You first have to prep for the sport: Go to the best running store in your neighborhood, and get fitted for sneakers. They'll watch your gait and choose what is right for your foot.

If you are a girl, buy a good running bra. Should buy it in the size below your normal size. You want it to be tight, so it holds everything down, allowing good breathing, but no breast movement.

Next, you need to train for stamina:
Begin to run by doing the run-walk-run thing. Run until you run out of breath; walk until you catch your breath; run again; walk again; etc. Just keep doing it for thirty minutes. Do that for two weeks. Concentrate on trying to extend the running sessions longer.

At the end of two weeks, you should be mildly okay with the routine. Now begin to time yourself. Use a watch, or if you run alone, without distractions, count your steps. Time your running period (until you run out of breath); time your walking period. Now try to extend the running period by 1/2 minute every day. At the same time, try to decrease your walking period by 1/2 minute every day.

Keep doing this. Slowly you will build up to running for the full 30 minutes. Once you do, extend the time by two minutes every day, until you've reached 40 - 60 minutes.

At that point, you'll be ready to begin work on increasing speed. (That's a whole other question!)

As for diet ...
After you return from a run, drink a tall glass of low fat chocolate milk. It replaces your nutrients in the same way Gatorade does.

Eat quantities of fruit only in the morning (due to sugar content). For the rest of the day, eat lots of veggies; lean protein; unsalted almonds, pecans, and walnuts; yogurt; eggs. Stay away from starches (rice, potato, crackers, breads, etc.) Stay away from salt.

Do not eat meals late at night. Determine the time you become inactive at night. That doesn't just mean sleeping; it also means sitting at your computer, or watching television. Determine the time and subtract five or six hours to computer the hour at which you should stop eating for the day. After that hour, you should only have teas, salads/veggies (no dressings; only lite olive oil with vinegar), or a piece of fruit such as apple.

Eliminate toxins from your diet. Don't smoke. Don't take medications unless you absolutely need them.

DO take vitamins. If you have a Wegmans, Whole Foods, or GNC nearby, look to buy the EmergenC packets. They taste good, are easy to take, and will give you all the vitamins you need. You should buy the boxes in Multiple and in Vitamin C.

Make sure to get good sleep! You cannot get deep, deep sleep if lights are on. You must sleep in a dark room. No television. No lights. Try to get 6-8 hours each night.

Wash your hair at least three times a week. Change your pillow case every time you wash your hair. This reduces the oil that gets on your face while you sleep.

DON'T use accutane, which has many dangerous side effects! Use doctor prescribed topical medications on the exact area of the blemish. Ask about Retin-A.

Nightly routine should be: Wash with special facial cleansers (check out the Neutrogena line in drug stores). Rinse well. Then dot the medication on the blemish.

Exercise, proper food, watching the times you eat, and good sleep will clear up your skin.

Natural Cures For Cystic Acne


Defining and Treating Cystic Acne

The most painful and embarrassing kind of acne is cystic acne. Its treatment is hardest as well. Most of the medication plans include drugs and treatments, which are not available very often.

In case you suspect to have this kind of acne, you should start your treatment as soon as possible. It’s often difficult to make a quick appointment with a dermatologist and sometimes might even take up to 2 months. Thus, you should make an appointment by phone as soon as you think you might need the assistance for your cystic acne treatment.

It is important that the treatment is started quickly, since cystic acne leaves scars and causes the skin’s pitting. The defects are frequently obsolete, filled with matter and a purple or red hue to the skin around it. The nodules usually have 5 mm in diameter.

Dermatologists can provide you the best options for your skin and acne types available. Cystic acne doesn’t simply disappear, and even if it does, it will take weeks for treatment.

One of the natural treatments you may try at home, while you’re waiting for your dermatology appointment, involves squeezing a fresh apricot and applying it to the skin. Frequently, this procedure brings relief from pain and might help to treat the cysts faster. You may apply and leave it on the face several hours before going to bed.

You will be offered with several treatments for acne by the dermatologist. The first is Isotrtinoin pill – the patient has to take it for 20 days. There are many side effects on this pill, including drying of the eyes and lips, muscle aches, chest pain, depression, and severe birth defects. Therefore, a woman, who chooses this treatment, has to be on two kinds of birth control to assure that she is not pregnant.

One of the safest treatments is an acne cortisone injection straight to the nodule to stimulate healing and reduce inflammation. The acne cortisone injection will stop the infection and will start working immediately. It can only be applied to existing nodules. There are not many side effects. One very odd side effect is the skin lighting around the injection site. it only happens among dark skinned individuals.

There are also few other treatments, like Accutane, or oral contraceptives (for women), but they are not that efficient and can bring up lots of side effects.

Cystic acne treatment is important to maintain face’s color without pitting and scarring. Sufferers using nutrition, hygiene and medical treatments must be able to improve their skin’s condition and decrease their eruptions.
