Adult cystic acne can be a nightmare. It is one thing to experience acne during adolesence along with all of the other hormone changes. Teen acne is now so common that it is almost expected for most people. But to have acne continue into maturity or maybe start when you are an adult is unexpected and depressing - especially when it is cystic acne, the most unpleasant and the hardest type to treat.
Cystic acne is a kind of common acne or acne vulgaris which appears as nodules or cysts under the skin. The cysts are deeper under the surface than the whiteheads of other kinds of acne. This is because they often form in sweat channels instead of follicles, though in a number of cases cysts can form in a follicle.
Adult cystic acne nodules are typically found on the buttocks, groin and armpit areas as well as the face. They are inflaming and can be painful as well as embarrassing. When they appear on the face, they can be disfiguringly large and tricky to treat. They also tend to form larger and better lasting scars than other kinds of acne.
So what are you able to do about adult cystic acne? First, let's make it obvious that you cannot pop the blemishes of cystic acne and you shouldn't even try. The inflamed matter is not near enough to the surface and you'll only push it even deeper, making the difficulty worse.
