Cystic
acne is a severe form of acne that develops into cysts.
They are basically inflammatory nodules. Though it is
not rare but it is not as common as acne vulgaris.
Cystic acne can be very large in size and can cause lots
of pain. These are filled with pus like substance and
occur in on the face, shoulder, chest and back areas. A
common treatment of cystic acne is
Isotretinoin.
Isotretinoin
is a very common medication for cystic acne and it needs
to be taken orally. Taking it regularly for at least 16
to 20 weeks can help you get rid of your acne. But the
problem is that the acne will come back after some time,
hence it is not a permanent cure. Also treatment of
cystic acne through Isotretinoin can lead to lots of
side effects as well.
Isotretinoin
is a very expensive drug and can cause lots of side
effects. It can lead to the swelling of the lips and the
eyes. It also cause severe itching, dryness of the mouth
and over all skin, bleeding from the nose, muscle pains,
inability to see properly at night, increased levels of
cholesterol etc. It causes some serious side
effects.
But the most serious side effect caused by this
drug is that it can cause birth defects, i.e. if you are
carrying then your baby might be born with defects due
to this medication. You should never take this drug if
you are pregnant. You should also make sure that you
don't get pregnant while you are on this drug.
Though
treatment of cystic acne through Isotretinoin might
yield results but do you really want to undergo so many
side effects in order to cure your acne. And more so
when it is not even a complete and permanent solution
and when it is possible to cure acne through other
treatments that too without any side effects. Let us
first understand what causes cystic
acne.
Acne
is caused due to three basic
reasons:
- Hormonal
Imbalance.
- Toxic
Buildup in the body.
- The
genetic sensitivity of sebum glands towards the
hormonal imbalance.
You
can cure your cystic acne only taking into account all
three factors. Since it is not possible to do anything
about the genetic tendency you have to take care of the
other two factors. The
best Treatment of cystic acne is the holistic approach.
The conventional methods only address the symptoms thus
fail to eliminate the root cause of acne. Whereas the
holistic method takes care of the underlying root causes
of the acne mentioned above and eliminate them
completely. The holistic approach is also devoid of any
kind of side effects. Adopt the holistic approach and
gift yourself the blemish free clear skin you always
dreamt of.
