Getting rid of cystic acne… what do I do?
October 10th, 2010Question: Getting rid of cystic acne… what do I do?
I am 24 and still get pimples during the later days of my monthly period. However, this time I have a cystic acne on my cheek, nearly beside my nose… you know, that huge painful red acne that has a lot of ichor in it that just won’t squeeze out. It’s been on my face for a week now, and it seems like I’m not getting rid of it in a couple of days.
I’ve scrubbed, used pore cleansing masks, used astringent toners, used lemon juice… and now I have soft smooth clean skin, except for that one bothersome cystic acne on my cheek!
I’m kind of short on cash to get professional help, so I’m just wondering about home remedies or topical OTC’s that actually work fast to get rid of this acne once and for all. Thank you!

Professional help would be best.
I had adult acne. I found that an aspirin dissolved in a tablespoon of water and then dabbed on the acne helped dry mine right up. I don’t know if that will help with cystic acne.
i found a few articles to help you out:

change of diet for one!
stop eating processed foods.
The secret behind EVERY facial cleansor is that for BEST results, eat healthy and get exercise. That’s even on Proactiv’s brochures. Biggest waste of money ever. Your body naturally tries to rid itself of toxins within so you might try not washing your face for a while and see where that goes. Everytime you put something on your face, the dirt and oil from your hand touches your face, causing acne. That’s what the products don’t tell you. When I used to buy face products I always had acne and when I stopped washing my face, my face started clearing up. It’s in what you eat and how often you sweat and if you get exercise or not. Pollutants in the air don’t help but neither does your hand, so try to not wash your face with anything, just let warm water in your shower open your pores and rid itself of the toxins. It does a better job than the products you buy.
***Focus on how beautiful your skin is, you’ll start seeing results.
