Treating Acne at Home

Cystic acne is one of the very worst forms of acne , a great many cysts form and are grouped together, these are often filled with pus and have a very red color. These types are usually caused by blocked oil ducts which allows the bacteria to multiply in a closed area. This is the most common form of bad acne in teens, although it can be found in the older generation too.

Before treatment can start, it must be ascertained what is the main cause for this condition is in that particular individual. This is very difficult to do as the problem is not a uniform "find and fix" situation, and is highly variable from person to person. The simplest reason is the amount of debris, bacteria and oil actually lying on the surface of the skin, which in turn causes bacteria to breed on the skin and eventually some pores will block, sealing in the already growing bacteria colony and incubate them in a sealed environment, rather like the petri dish from a laboratory, but this time on the face! To make matters worse, for a short time the sweat gland will try to sweat through this damaged pore which can give rise to additional problems, least of all feeding the pore with bodily waste.

The second most common cause is hormonal. This affects both sexes, and a great many times of the life can lead to imbalances in hormonal activity, and these can last indefinitely if the root cause is not treated. In some cases the cause cannot be treated effectively, but the severity and longevity can be reduced. This is often the cause for outbreaks in teens, women in pregnancy or taking oral birth control. Changes in life can also cause sudden outbreaks, slow downs in production of certain hormones while others are still being produced, often characterized by body temperature regulation problems (hot flushing), acceleration of hair loss or growth, loss of vitality or feelings of lethargy, sudden and uncontrollable sweating or night sweats. For this case , it is advisable to visit your own personal doctor as there may be a treatment that is effective and available to you that may work.

If this is a route you have already tried , there are more options to try:

1. Exercise.Stimulation of the circulatory system will improve the vitality and also purge the body , through the sweat glands of impurity, as well as causing the bodys' filtration system to clean the blood.

2. Diet,certain minerals and vitamins can help regulate the body's assimilation and production of certain essential elements. Also, many people find that the use of dairy products, ad the oils they contain, a catalyst to acne production. Iron deficiency has also been known to be acne causing.

3. Sleep, irregular or not enough sleep does not allow the body to repair or self regulate effectively.

4. Sunlight, often this can be a root cause for acne , either too much or too little. Often it is recommended that you expose yourself to UV light, but studies have shown marked improvements with controlled doses. This could be as simple as the production of vitamins D or even the stimulation of the cells reproductive or repair processes.

5. Skin cleansing. Cleaning the skin with an cleansing solution specifically designed for acne and blackheads can work wonders, and guarantees that your pores are open

The third most common cause of cystic acne is the constant touching of acne. The fingers are a notoriously filthy place! Many individuals touch, rub, pick and scratch the pustules, thus spreading the bacteria in a smearing fashion all over the face and body, as well as pushing enough matter into a pore to seal it. Damaging the skin layers triggers the body to begin repair situations, where the body will start to replace cells and cover over an infected area with skin causing very large, bloated, red spot beneath a layer of skin. This can often cause a very deep well of bacteria, that may damage enough skin around the pore to cause a small crater, surrounded by scar tissue, which may take years to disappear, if ever!
