Acne
cyst or cystic acne can be quite painful that often
leaves a scar. When a cyst or a sac forms in the lower
layer of the skin containing fluids or pus, it becomes
inflamed, forming lesions. This occurs when the contents
of a clogged pore oozes into the dermis, producing major
immune response (localized). Acne cyst treatment
usually comprises antibiotic therapy but when this
fails, retinoid Isotretinoin is often prescribed by
dermatologists as specific cure. Brand named Accutane,
it is an oral drug that is normally taken once or twice
a day, depending on the severity of the case. Acne
cyst treatment takes a
fairly longer time, often extending to 14 or 20
continuous weeks before any marked improvement is
noticed. And the fact is that, the use of such drugs
often causes side effects as well. So what do you do? We
shall see later.
Although
Accutane is used in acne cyst treatment, dermatologists
sometimes feel diffident about prescribing the drug
because of its far reaching side effects. Apart from
symptoms of acute depression, the side effects also
include loss of concentration, aversion to food, dryness
of the mouth, nose, lips and the skin as also irritation
in the eyes. Sometimes it also affects night vision,
turning night driving rather hazardous, nose-bleeding
and atypical sensitivity to sunlight. What is more, with
some patients, there are unusual changes occurring in
the blood picture (marked increase in triglycerides and
cholesterol) and alteration of liver
functions.
In
case of women taking Accutane, the drug may cause
pre-natal defect in the fetus of a pregnant female. It
is not recommended for women who are already pregnant or
are in the process of getting
pregnant.
The
best course of acne cyst treatment involves a holistic
pattern of therapy that reaches the root of the disease,
providing a cure by treating this multi-dimensional
malaise by reacting with each causative factor (this is
important because acne is quite complicated and it can
be caused due to many causes). Besides, it has no side
effects. The word “holistic” is consequential to “whole”
where the entire persona of the patient is taken into
account instead of his or her individual symptom or
symptoms. This obviously includes the person’s body and
psyche as also his or her lifestyle which may need
changes to create a suitable treatment environ. This
method of treatment therefore, proves more realistic as
well as effective since it does not address itself to
curing the symptoms but aims at curing the person
wholly.
For
example, one of the primary causes of acne formation
involves misbalanced hormone that cannot control over
production of sebum (oil) under the skin. While
conventional treatment addresses at resettling the
hormonal balance by temporarily clearing the clogged
pores, holistic treatment restores the imbalance by
activating the body’s normal cleansing agents like the
kidneys, liver, colon, lungs and the skin. As soon as
the toxic debris accumulated within the blood and
lymphatic glands are purged out of the system through
these organs and the used up hormones are expelled, the
hormones start acting normally, inducing the sebum
glands to produce only that much sebum that is required
to keep the skin healthy. Holistic acne cyst
treatment therefore is the only effective method of
treatment.
