Cystic acne is considered by many dermatologists to be one of the most severe forms of acne lesions. As certain hormones increase in the body, the body’s oil glands react by producing an excessive amount of sebum. So much sebum forms under the skin that the excess forms into nodules. The nodules later harden into painful cysts and rupture because they unable to release through the small pores in your skin. This causes much pain and irritation.
This type of acne vulgaris requires medical attention and usually persists for long period of times, often weeks or even months. Regular acne treatment methods are not effective, so cystic acne is often treated with either Accutane or other sulfa-based antibiotics. They are oral medications that are usually taken once or twice a day for 16 to 20 weeks. They reduce the size of the oil glands. Less oil is produced, reducing the chance for pores to clog because the body is not producing as much oil. Pimples and cysts are reduced, and the pre-existing ones are not further irritated.
