Despite what you may think, there are many different kinds of acne. Cystic acne is among the more serious kinds. Cysts usually develop as a result of the pores in your skin getting not only clogged, but also infected. This happens when you either neglect to clean it or infect it by touching it frequently. If you develop this kind of acne you will want to talk to a dermatologist. This way a doctor can tell you if you need special medication.

Because this kind of acne is so serious, you will probably be using topical medications, antibiotics to clear it up. Normal over-the-counter creams and scrubs probably won’t do the trick in this case. Your dermatologist will give you antibiotics you can take to treat it. Chances are your doctor will suggest you start medications such as Retin A or Benzoyl Peroxide to treat your cyst. The kinds of oral antibiotics are Tetracyline, Minocycline and Doxycycline. These medications reduce the amount of bacteria that collects in your pores and will lessen the irritation.

Everyone’s skin is different, so antibiotics may not work for you. Your doctor may prescribe you a stronger medication such as accutane. This product has been proven to be very effective in severe kinds of acne such as cysts. It will also lessen the amount of oils and bacteria in your skin.

It�s important that you try different ways of treating your acne, especially if you have a severe type of acne. What works for one person may not be right for you. Just be patient and keep trying different methods till you find out what is right for you, because there will be something that will work for you. Cystic acne is something you should take very seriously and seek treatment immediately as well as seeking advice from your dermatologist.
