Ayurvedic Treatment to Get Rid of Cystic Acne

Cystic acne is a type of acne that is severe in type and the pores in the skin formed become blocked then leading to infection and inflammation of the part. Cystic acne is the most serious type of acne among the types of acne. It develops when the cyst is formed deep beneath the skin.

Pimples start when a pore in the skin gets clogged with dead skin cells, bacteria also get trapped within, leading to the area to become red and swollen. This results from a combination of bacteria, oil, and dry skin cells that get trapped in the pores of the skin. Anyone can develop acne but cystic acne probably occurs in people with oily skin and is more commonly seen in teens, women, and older adults with hormonal imbalances.

It primarily affects the face and often affects the upper trunk and upper arms and occurs when the infection penetrates deep into the skin, creating pus that is filled with pus.

Causes of Cystic Acne

• The pores of the skin have glands known as sebaceous glands that secrete an oily secretion called sebum. Normally these secretions help to protect the hair follicles and skin, but when it produces excess sebum and overgrowth of skin cells causes the pores to become clogged and this creates the perfect conditions for the overgrowth of acne.
• A hormone called androgens to play the most important role. In teenagers, androgen levels increase and manifest changes in skin that result in clogged pores and leading to acne.
• Hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, birth control measures, Hormonal therapy, and stress.
