Acne is normally a teen to young adult problem. Cystic acne or Nodulocystic acne is on of the most difficult types of acne to effectively treat. It causes large hard cysts to form under the skin. The masses may be filled with fluid. They may form in numerous places on the body, but many youth have problems with the cysts that form around the facial region.
You will need to choose gentle cleansers that are made for sensitive skin. This type of acne is inflammatory and if you use harsh cleansers, it can become more inflamed. You should choose cleansers that are made without perfumes or other harsh chemicals. These chemicals can cause irritation and drying of the skin. You should choose a soap the is as close to all natural as possible.
Try to avoid scrubbing the skin or using any abrasive cleaners on the face. It your skin is too dry or is stripped of its natural moisture, the problem can become even worse. Effective cleansing is produced by lathering your face with soap and rinsing it with warm water.
Treatment of cystic acne requires the use of medication. The most effective medication for this condition is a mild benzoyl peroxide cream. These creams are available over the counter without prescriptions.
The medication should be used in its lowest available strength, 2. 5 percent. Do not use the stronger solutions as they can cause further inflammation of this type of acne. Higher strengths can actually cause a chemical burn on the skin. In addition the product can cause the skin to become too dry and flaky. The cream should be massaged into the skin gently using the fingertips only. It needs to be spread around until it dries on the skin.
Do not neglect to moisturize your skin after the benzoyl peroxide. Adding an oil free moisturizer will not accentuate the oil problem that you already have, but will keep the benzoyl peroxide from drying the skin too much. The additional moisture will also promote healing of the skin. Choose only moisturizers that are unscented and made for sensitive skin. This will lower the chance of irritating already inflamed skin.
Getting rid of acne can be a tough job. Be sure that you get the help you need.
