Cystic acne occurs when lesion contains large amount of bacteria, dead cells and white blood cells. Cystic acne can be identified as huge an irregular shaped large bump that is even more painful than nodular acne when touched. Cystic acne appears in large bumps and honestly looks awful.
Cystic infections are usually deep under the skin and won’t rise up to the surface unlike pimple or comedone. Since the waste is not discharged, Cystic acne normally takes a long time to heal completely.
My personal opinion is that the 3 factors that has cause cystic acne in many people is hormonal imbalance, poor diet and inflammation. While everyone knows that hormonal imbalance is one main causes of acne, poor diet that includes many fatty-acids and sugar also attributes to cystic acne. The reason why I label inflammation as one main factor is because many cystic acne sufferers comes from the group of "craving to squeeze pimple" people. I said upteem times and I'm going to repeat this again, squeezing or popping of pimple can easily cause inflammation.
Most people with cystic acne have problem handling their social life. The good thing about cystic acne is that it really CAN be treated, though it will take months for cystic acne to be treated completely.
