I have bad cystic acne on my face where my beard should be. It started when my facial hair started growing in around 17 and it has been from getting bad to semi-better and then bad again for 2 years now. I’ve tried everything from prescriptions, home remedies, over the counter, pro active, murad…… basically everything except accutane. I’m wondering if anybody knows of anything that worked for them with this type of acne. I’m leaning towards the accutane because I am absolutely sick of the pain, embarrassment, dryness, and wasted money associated with this acne. Any suggestions?

I have cystic acne and i have yet to find an over the counter product that will help me. I do not want to go to a dermatologist because it is too expensive. What products work well, does anyone have any home remedies?

I have noticed that most people talk about their cystic acne in a clinical sense, but don’t really talk about the emotional toll their acne has on them.

Those of us who know what real cystic acne is are so frustrated because we know that washing the skin is not going to solve the problem.  Those of us who have had acne for a while get even more frustrated when we realize that people are going to look at you as though you don’t take care of yourself or you lack personal hygiene when in reality your about 20 times more free of germs than the next guy.

Cystic acne is a clear indication of a well functioning immune system. Concomitant with a well functioning immune system, cystic acne sores provide a means of aerosol and other means of natural vaccination from a variety of diseases. These two factors seem interrelated and may indicate that males with acne have a more adaptable immune system which is clearly adapted to inoculation and vaccination, through acne sores, from natural exogenous sources.

The ability to survive epidemics, immunity, both partial and complete from a variety of diseases, an immune system exposed to a great variety of exogenous disease causing viruses, bacteria and etc through acne sources and thus more adapted to combat the same through cross immunity and specific immunity and increasingly adaptive immunity mechanism, and related processes, can explain the survival benefit of acne in men with the resultant increasing ability to pass this survival mechanism to future generations through mere survival itself despite the disfiguring effects of cystic acne.

Cystic acne is caused by hormonal imbalances and toxicity in our body and it can start with an irritated stomach lining.  Eating excess carbs can lead to all those conditions, and your skin can be in better condition on low carb than ever before.

Another thing that can cause breakouts is excessive cardio exercise that leaves your body acidic.  That happens when you workout at high intensity and the lactic acid builds up in your body to toxic levels.  Depending on the strength of your lymphatic and endocrine systems, this toxicity can take many days to clear out.  Antioxidants like Vitamin C can help getting rid of cystic acne, but it is best to workout at lower intensities most of the time.

In order to get rid of cystic acne, it’s an excellent idea to avoid junk food. Some people, no matter what they do in terms of diet, exercise, and general lifestyle changes, continue to have cystic acne that requires medical treatment. You may be an example of the extremely fortunate individual whose skin responds just to changes in diet. It’s unfair, however, to suggest that an improved diet will be a panacea for all people with acne.

Obviously, if an individual notices a connection between eating a certain food, for example, chocolate, shell fish, spinach, fried foods, and breakouts, he or she should avoid those foods. But not everyone has such clear flags.

There isn’t even one prove for the causes of cystic acne disorder, on the other hand there are few reasons that causes cystic acne. Cystic acne usually can be found on our face skin, it is most common to appear inside the skin and it’s usually triggering you with annoying red rash. The skin becomes red and swollen in the acne zone and causing a harsh on your skin. These harsh are generally found filled with pus and by scratching this infected skin to get rid off cystic acne you will only get it worse as it might spread all over your face and make it difficult to control it.

The number one cause of cystic acne is genetic as it was absolutely proven by scientists. The outbreak of cystic acne can also be explained by the terms of hormonal changes. If you are a teenager or pregnant woman or in other situation, that might change your hormone levels naturally or unnaturally – you are more likely to suffer from cystic acne. Bare in mind that not all hormone changes cause’s acne. But when you also have acne in your family history and diet problems and other unhealthy habits it raises the odds fro suffer from cystic acne for a long term. Even stress in some cases can cause acne.
