The Best Cystic Acne Treatment Options
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.
There are a variety of commercial products that you can purchase from your local pharmacy. You should speak to the pharmacist about any concerns you may have and for advice on the best product for you. Commercial products come with clear written instruction on how and when to use the product, and they usually have a reasonable price tag.
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 are too late, and the zit has broken out and looks or feels inflamed, add a pinch of sea salt to the baking soda and water to produce a thick paste. Apply to the affected area to help calm down the inflammation and remove the excess oil. After 15, minutes rinse with lukewarm water.
This skin disorder is not usually painful, but it can be very unsightly, especially when it becomes inflamed. Try mixing a few drops of honey with the white of an egg to treat the inflammation and stop further breakouts. If you have what is known as an adult cystic acne, try mixing some honey, turmeric and lime juice. This mix has proven very effective in adults.
If you apply some tea-tree oil to the infected area, it destroys the bacteria. It is well-known for its soothing properties. You can always drop into your local herbal store to find out what other natural products, they sell that can be used for cystic acne treatment.
