What is Cystic Acne?

Cystic acne occurs when bacteria and dead skin cells, get trapped beneath the skin's surface and become infected. This leads to a large, swollen cyst (bump) that can hurt just to touch. Treatment includes antibiotics and cleansing. With the right medication, a good natural face cleanser along with waxing instead of shaving can reduce breakouts.

Symptoms range from uninflamed blackheads to pus-filled pimples or large, red and tender bumps.

While a cystic pimple heals, it is important to be gentle with the skin. Do not try to pop, pick, or squeeze a cystic pimple. It may be tempting, but popping a pimple can introduce more bacteria to the pores, slow healing, drive the infection deeper into the skin, and increase the chance of scarring.

Things you can do at home: heat is the most recommended and effective measure for draining or shrinking cysts. How yous ask: Heat reduces the thickness of liquid in the cyst, this may help fluid drain quicker into the lymphatic system. Using our Apple cider bar also reduces inflammation and also helps keep them away.
