Cystic acne is one of the most
severe forms of acne that penetrates deep within the
skin layers. To understand why cystic acne occurs and
since all types of acne are caused by the same
underlying factors, I recommend reading my article about
the real cause of acne first.
Cystic acne is characterized by hard, semi-liquid
bumps that grow below the skin with the potential of
causing severe acne scars. Acne cysts are much
larger and painful compared to whiteheads and
conventional spots. From the external perspective,
cystic acne is caused by oil glands blockages that
triggered inflammation and pus in the surrounding tissue
area. Retention keratosis is a condition that has the
potential to worsen the symptoms of cystic acne as skin
cells are shed improperly. This can lead to clogging of
the skin follicles and the dead cells along with the
over production of sebum (usually triggered by hormonal
imbalance) what makes the perfect environment for
bacterial infections. The infection in cystic acne can
also spread to other follicles, which can aggravate the
inflammation, redness and swelling.
Since the infection matter that have accumulated
beneath the skin surface is not properly discharged, in
most cases cystic acne heals very slowly. To prevent
acne scarring and to minimize the damage, we want to
treat cystic acne as fast as possible and since most
acne medications, steroids, and topical acne treatments
handle the symptoms of cystic acne, the natural holistic
alternative might just be the solution for cystic
acne.
The holistic all natural approach fixes the internal
cause of acne by using multidimensional protocols
(dietary changes, supplementation, internal and external
cleansing, the rebuilding of the organs of elimination
as lifestyle optimization) thus neutralizes the
environment that encourage acne formation works faster
to cure cystic acne in the long term and prevent further
acne scars.
