Question 1

i have pimple like bumps on my forehead and sides of my face & cystic acne on my chin. what are home remedies?

Accepted Answer

Effective treatment: I would recommend that you start by seeing your pmd for effective prescriptions to clear up your skin. Bumps may be pimples/acne or milia. Your doctor should be able confirm.

Question 2

what to do if i have severe cystic acne is there a cheap cure or home remedy i can do?

Accepted Answer

Acne : Cystic acne is often treated with prescription strength oral medications (antibiotics , Accutane ) and topicals ( retinoid cream). Otc benzoyl peroxide is of limited benefit. See a dermatologist cystic acne.

Question 3

i failed popping my cystic pimple. now it's still got puss, and it's inflamed and purple. is there a way of treating this at home?

Accepted Answer

Cystic acne: Popping pimples/cysts not a good idea: can drive infection deeper. Warm-hot compresses can draw cyst to head so it opens on its own & drains. But best treatment is to see dermatologist for definitive care of acne: topical meds + oral antibiotics; possibly accutane-like product if condition is severe. Should also be checked for polycystic ovarian ds by doc.

Question 4

at what point should i go to doctor for a cystic pimple on my back?  it's big and painful to sit back in my chair!  at home cures available?

Accepted Answer

Warm soaks: I would take a warm washcloth and put it in a plastic bag. Soak the area 2 or 3 times a day. If it does not rain in afew days for you develop a fever i would see a doctor.

Question 5

i have got a massive cystic pimple in my eyebrow, it really hurts and seems to be becoming bigger. is there anything i could do about it at home?

Accepted Answer

My sympathies: Pimples are no fun where ever they appear.  The brow is a bit sensitive and a pimple there will be more uncomfortable.  Try using local heat by putting a washcloth under very warm, (not hot) water and laying it over the brow 4-5 times per day for 4 minutes at a time.   It might need to be opened in some way - start by asking your parents to help.

Question 6

i have used many medicines & topical creams,acne always returns after stopping it. can you recommend any natural remedy for treating cystic acne?

Accepted Answer

See a dermatologist.: If you are having cystic acne it is going to be very difficult to find a natural remedy that can help. When someone suffers of severe acne most likely oral antibiotics and other stronger meds that require lab testing and close follow up might be needed. I definitely recommend in this case that you see a Dermatologist.

Question 7

what would be a good remedy for hormonal, facial cystic acne caused by pituitary tumor? i already tried spironolactone & bcps without much success.

Accepted Answer

Facial acne: Pituitary tumors which affect hormonal functions are rare.  Facial acne is usually a function of fluctuations in estrogen production, and that is not always b/c of a pituitary tumor.  Bcp's will control facial acne, but depend on taking the active pills in the evening, at the same hour each day to avoid estrogen withdrawal, which causes the acne. Try another brand of low dose oral bcp's.

Question 8

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 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

are there any home remedy for minor pimples?

Accepted Answer

Benzoyl peroxide: It's as cheap as the honey / cinnamon / lemon concoction you read about on the internet, and the difference is that is actually works. It's not pleasant to use, but it clears minor acne in about two weeks.
