b>Cystic acne treatment[/b] is a treatment for a severe form of
acne, known as cystic acne, which is characterized by painful
acne cyst or nodules. The cysts are formed by blocked oil
glands, which burst open and introduce inflammation and pus to
surrounding tissue. This tissue infection usually occurs deep
under the skin and the deep-bedded, infectious waste is not
discharged. The resulting acne cyst can produce long-term
scarring of the skin, particularly if the acne goes untreated
for some time. Even with proper cystic acne treatment, acne
cysts tend to heal slowly. Because acne cyst are also very

cystic acne tends to be as psychologically painful as it is
physically painful.
Cystic acne can be difficult to treat and it is, often times,
resistant to most well-known acne treatments. Most acne
treatments, particularly over-the-counter treatments, are
devised to treat the symptoms of acne. These treatments are best
suited for light to moderate types of acne. Cystic acne is a
severe form of acne, requiring specialized treatment to treat
the biological processes that cause the acne and associated acne
cyst. Cystic acne treatments attempt to halt the progression of
acne inflammation.
The most common medication used in the treatment of cystic acne
is Accutane, also referred to as isotretinoin, Accutane is taken
orally and has proven very effective in removing acne cyst in
some patients. Accutane reduces the size of oil glands, which
means that they produce less oil and, thus, reduce the spread of
infection. Accutane-based, cystic acne treatment is administered
in daily dosages for a range of four to five months. There are
several side effects, which last for the duration of the
treatment. Side effects include:
* Chapped lips
* Dry eyes
* Muscle aches
* Increased cholesterol levels
* Depression
* Birth defects in developing fetuses
Due to the side effects, patients undergoing

remove their contact lenses and wear glasses for the duration of
their treatment. They are also encouraged to monitor their
general health and report, immediately, any changes in their
mental or physical health. Side effects,

are encouraged to exercise some form of birth control for the
duration of the treatment.
Another method used in the treatment of severe cystic acne is
referred to as intralesional corticosteroid therapy. This type
of treatment is used when patients are not responsive to oral
and topical treatments. The therapeutic process involves
injecting each acne cyst with a solution of dilute cortisone.

of the associated inflammation, but may require regular and
repeated applications.

to remove visible blackheads and whiteheads, if present. A
pointed instrument is inserted in each legion to loosen it
against its own resistance and expose its contents, which are
removed. This precision surgery should only be performed by a
dermatologist because any ruptures to skin tissue,
