The Best Cystic Acne Treatment Options

By Morgan Lee


If you are talking about acne, it is usually in relation to a teenager. Many of them are susceptible to acne for a few years and then seem to grow out of it, when they leave puberty behind. Contrary to popular belief, the majorities are not left with life-time scars. The main differences with this disorder are that you can be left with scars if you do not use the appropriate cystic acne treatment, and you can get it at any age.

The medical profession has linked this skin disorder to several potential causes. Including, dust getting into your pores and causing a blockage, poor nutrition, hormone imbalance and believe it or not dandruff. As yet there has been no definitive cause identified. There is little doubt that good nutrition and looking after your skin properly helps to prevent any form of skin condition.

Your pharmacy will stock a variety of treatments, many that are reasonably priced. You can buy them without a prescription, and your pharmacist will be only too happy to advise you on the best products and how to use them. You will also find written instruction along with your purchase.

Depending on what you have in your store cupboard, there are several home-made remedies you might like to try. A thick paste made from baking soda, and a little water should be applied to the area and left for 15 minutes to set. Use tepid water to rinse the paste off, and at the same time you are removing the excess oil from the skin which helps to prevent breakouts.

If you already have an outbreak, and it feels or looks inflamed, add just a few grains of sea salt to the baking soda paste. Apply gently to the area and leave to harden for 15 minutes. Then rinse in warm water to remove the paste. This helps to damp down the inflammation.

You will find that this type of skin disorder not only becomes inflamed, it can cause you a lot of pain. If you take a few drops of honey and mix gently with an egg white, it will help to reduce the inflammation and therefore, the pain it causes. Another mix which is thought to be best in adults, and you may find useful is some honey mixed with lime juice and turmeric.

Tea tree oil is known to be effective in killing the bacteria that cause zits and also has properties, which help to reduce any inflammation. This is the best cystic acne treatment that you can buy over the counter. There are also many natural and herbal products that you can also try as alternative to tea tree oil.
