Cystic acne is caused by an excess amount of sebum in the pores. They are filled with whitish pus and can result in lot of pain and are very frustrating to deal with. The oil gland becomes swollen with the extra sebum and the oil gland erupts under the skin. This results in red, painful, inflamed lesions. Squeezing them to drain them will only cause infection.
There are several success stories by people who have suffered with this and found their own natural acne treatments that have resulted in drastic results.
- Apple Cider Vinegar including two tablespoons of this morning and night internally, as well as using it on the face. Use the organic kind when possible from the health food store.
- Virgin Coconut Oil - You can buy this at the health food store, and hopefully they will have the organic kind. Keep it in the fridge in order to maintain its freshness and avoid rancid oil. People use it for weight loss, but it has had success for cystic acne when applied topically on the face.
- Eliminating eggs, gluten and soy has worked for some people in eradicating cystic acne.
- Eliminating corn, which also includes popcorn. This is surprising for some people, but both forms have been known to cause a real problem with cystic acne, and people have successfully been rid of acne after cutting out this staple from their diet.
- Red Raspberry tea - drink this fruitful tea, but it is not to be applied topically.
- Tumeric, in the form of 1200 mg capsule taken orally once per day. If you apply tumeric on the face, your skin will be yellow, which is not exactly attractive.
- Panthothenic acid of 10 grams per day. This is vitamin B5, and is included in a strong multivitamin and mineral tablet or capsul. B vitamins are so important for the skin, and pantothenic acid in this amount has been very successful in ridding the skin of cystic acne for some people.
