Question 2

how can i treat cystic acne at home?

Accepted Answer

Forgive my frankness: Cystic acne is a brutal disease that gravely disfigures you now and will leave your skin permanently mutilated. You can't treat it on you own, and if your parents are interfering with your desire for effective therapy, pick up the phone and call your physician. Despite all the internet scare stuff, Isotretinoin is by far the most effective medication. It's not for sissies, but it's what you need.

Question 3

what medicine helps with cystic acne?

Accepted Answer

Cystic Acne: Severe acne is characterized by deep cysts, inflammation, extensive damage to the skin and scarring. It requires an aggressive treatment regimen and should be treated by a dermatologist. Severe, disfiguring forms of acne can require years of treatment and may experience one or more treatment failures. However, almost every case of acne can be successfully treated. There is no one medication.

Question 4

home remedies to control cystic acne?

Accepted Answer

See a dermatologist: Home remedies don't work too well. You can try an over the counter cleanser that contains benzoyl peroxide but that may not be enough. I suggest you see your dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment.

Question 5

what is the best solution for cystic acne?

Accepted Answer

It varies: There is no single best treatment for acne. The common treatments for acne are cleansers, benzoyl peroxide, antibiotics (topical and oral), retinoid creams, chemical peels, laser treatments, led light treatment and acutane. Consult your dermatologist to find the right treatment for you.

Question 6

how can you remove persistent cystic acne?

Accepted Answer

Hard core Rx: This will respond well only to isotretinoin. Adjunct topical antibiotics & perhaps spironolactone may help as well. Nothing else will touch it and you'll repeat the course of rx over the years until it remits. It's not cheap, pleasant or risk-free but it is usually well worth it.

Question 7

please answer! what medicine helps cystic acne?

Accepted Answer

Isotretinoin: Today this is the mainstay of treatment for cystic acne. It is not for the faint-hearted and you need to follow instructions meticulously.

Question 8

how to consume dairy without getting cystic acne?

Accepted Answer

Whoa: Dairy does seem to exacerbate acne in some people, but your real question should be, "How do I manage acne which in my case has been very severe?" I'll assume you're using topical benzoyl peroxide and you also need to be under the care of a competent physician who knows how to give systemic Rx. If you are offered isotretinoin, give serious considerating to doing it. It's your body / future.

Question 9

what can i do for cystic acne? any home remedies?

Accepted Answer

No: Deep cystic acne always requires an rx, and probably you will go on at least a systemic antibiotic, which is generally safe.  Dermatologists have big guns for this. This is the 21st century and you do not have to endure this if you do not want it. Stay proactive and you are almost certain of getting a good result.

Question 10

i think i have cystic acne, what can i do about it?

Accepted Answer

Specialist: This is the 21st century and no one needs to have untreated cystic acne. This usually requires some of one of the strong medicines that only a dermatologist can prescribe. Over-the-counter and home remedies do not work. You owe it to yourself to be seen now -- it is your right.
