Cystic Acne is a severe form of nodular acne
which is characterized by deep infections that are nodule or cyst-like.
Blackheads and whiteheads may or may not be present.
It is very
difficult to determine why cystic acne appears. Cystic acne causes a lot
of emotional distress and severe cases of cystic acne can be physically
unpleasant as well. It can cause pain, recurrent bleeding and sometimes
an unpleasant and foul smelling discharge. Though it is rare, but in
some severe to severe cases, a cystic acne sufferer may develop a severe
toxic condition that requires treatment in a hospital.
The different possible causes of cystic acne are as follows:
1) Stress can be a cause of cystic acne. Suppose you are worrying too much about your normal acne, the related stress can increase the production of androgens which in turn can increase the production of oil in the skin. The oil, bacteria and pieces of hair may affect the nearby areas of tissue. If it takes place deep below the surface of the skin, cysts may appear.
2) The substances like hair, oil, and bacteria may not at all come to surface. Some of the stuff may leak out while the remaining may be left behind. As a result you may suffer from recurring cystic acne. That is why you get cysts always in the same area and in the same spot.
3) Another cause of cystic acne is diet. Though it is debatable whether food is a cause of acne or not, some researchers believe that certain foods cause inflammation. In fact, some research suggests that people have sensitivities to certain foods which may be the reason behind cystic acne.
4) Exercise can also be a cause of cystic acne. Certain type of exercises that are responsible for increasing the hormone can be the cause of cystic acne.
5) Refined sugar and starches can also be the cause of cystic acne. Sugar and starches are agreed upon by many as the possible causes of cystic as well as other forms of acne.
Acne scarring due to cystic acne can cause a lot of emotional trauma for
the sufferer. You can receive effective treatment for cystic acne
through consultation with a dermatologist. It can reduce the physical
and psychological pain to a great extent.
