Methods to Treat Cystic Acne
As well as treating cystic acne to clear up the infection and reduce the inflammation it is important that you know how to look after your skin properly. The first thing to be careful of is to avoid squeezing or picking at the cysts as this will cause the bacteria to spread underneath the skin and cause further infections. It can also lead to more damage to the skin resulting in scarring. You should wash your face with a mild soap no more than twice a day. Benzoyl peroxide soap, a mild soap with no perfume or Oxy-5 can be used. Shampoo your hair regularly to prevent oil from your hair being transferred to your face.
