Cystic acne is a more serious form of acne when compared to other forms of acne like pimples or whiteheads. This can be attributed to the fact that the roots of cystic acne penetrate deep within the skin layers. They are much larger & more painful compared to normal forms of acne.
Acne cysts are formed when the skin pores get blocked by accumulation of excess oil or sebum. Retention keratosis worsens the condition. This happens when the skin cells especially those lining the gland are shed improperly. Improper regeneration of cells leads to clogging of the skin follicles. Also, dead and damaged cells become an easy target for bacterial infections. The infection spills to other follicles which increases the inflammation and redness. Localized swelling is also observed.
Hormonal imbalance only adds to the woes. Increased production of sebum can trigger frequent flare ups. The skin becomes extremely sensitized and the cysts become susceptible to secondary infections. The lifestyle and the genetic background of a person also influence the severity of acne. The same is true of stress; it increases acne-related problems.
Acne cysts take a lot of time to heal since the infection is deep seated. Another problem with acne lesions or cysts is that they can lead to the formation of permanent scars. This occurs due to sheer negligence of the individual or careless treatment procedures. Ugly skin discoloration can also occur.
Medical treatment is the most outstanding way to get rid of cysts and lesions. Most dermatologists prescribe Isotretinoin for effective removal of the cysts and the lesions. This drug is marketed as Accutane, and is 1 of the popular acne drugs. The normal treatment runs for six months and can be taken in the form of tablets.
The success rate of Accutane is as high as 80%. It works by reducing the size of the oil glands thereby controlling acne production. Severe side effects like depression and suicidal thoughts have been seen in some patients. The drug should not be taken by pregnant women as it can damage the overall development of the child.
Another treatment accessable is cortisone injections. They are extremely effective, painless and bring instant relief. Cortisone reduces the inflammation, swelling and redness. This therapy is called as the intra-lesional corticosteroid therapy and deals with treating acne cysts and lesions.
Surgery and laser therapy are also gaining popularity. They also help in removing traces of scars that have been left behind by old acne lesions and cysts.
