...Cystic acne, also known as nodulocystic acne, is a severe form of acne wherein acne develops into small cysts. Acne cysts are not true cysts in the sense that they are not abnormal dilations of skin structure, but rather nodules of inflammation. Although not uncommon, it is rarer than other types of acne. Like other forms, it is caused by an excess buildup of sebum in the pores and, contrary to popular belief, is not caused by, nor is it affected by, hygiene or the lack thereof. A common treatment for cystic acne is Isotretinoin, which cures most acne in about 90% of patients. Read full entry

Cystic Acne?
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?

You should absolutely try accutane, because that's what's made for. I don't have cystic acne, but mild to moderate inflamatoy acne, and wanted to be put on accutane, but my dermo wouldn't let me. :-( But I would do it if I were you, because it would probably be the the thing that would work best on your type of acne. |

Cystic acne is treatable with Accutane. Unfortunately it comes with a booklet that you (and your parents, if you're a minor) have to go over carefully, due to side effects (which are many). But I have seen it work wonderfully on most patient. Only dermatologists can prescribe it so you may need to get a referral from your primary care physician to see one. It is more troublesome for female patients as she must go on birth control pills (regardless if she is sexually active or not), and if she's sexually active, her partner must use condom. She also has to get pregnancy test every month, along with other lab works (Liver function test, CBC, complete blood count, and lipids). For boys, we don't have to do pregnancy test obviously. It's not to be taken lightly, but when it works, it really works. Do discuss it with your doctor, please, about the pro and con of this medication (there are generic versions now--a bit cheaper). Never never try your friend's or get it in the black market. |
