Acne cysts are a severe form of acne. The
acne cysts look and feel like soft, fluid
filled lumps under the surface of the skin.
They’re often inflamed and very painful. They
may occur on their own or cover the face, neck,
scalp, back, chest and shoulders and tend to
affect teenage boys and young men.
What causes
acne cysts?
They are caused in very much the same way as
other forms of acne. Common causes are the
over-production of oil in the sebaceous glands
and an excess of dead skin cells within the
pores. Normally, small skin lesions arise in
the form of blackheads, whiteheads and pimples,
but in the case of acne cysts, the lesions
become bigger and deeper, causing infection to
occur under the skin.

Breakouts of acne cysts damage and destroy healthy skin
tissue and, as a result of this, there is an extremely high
likelihood of scarring. Squeezing the acne cysts should be
avoided at all costs since this can damage skin further and
cause more infection and scarring.
Another cause of acne cysts is thought to be stress. When
you’re worried and anxious about your acne, the body can
produce more androgens which then stimulate the oil glands and
the hair follicles. The resulting oil and bacteria can affect
the nearby tissues and cysts may appear.
Whether diet is a trigger to acne is highly debatable, but
some research has suggested that the sensitivities some people
have to particular foods may cause acne cysts. It’is also worth
mentioning that many people think that the refined sugars and
starches found in so many foods are possible causes of acne
cysts as well as other forms of acne.
For whatever the reason, acne cysts are signs of a severe
form of acne. Often, they can cause great emotional distress
and affect your self-esteem and confidence. If not treated,
some severe cases may develop bacterial infections that require
hospitalization. Fortunately, this is a rare occurrence that
does, however, emphasize the seriousness of the condition. Acne
cysts should be treated as soon as possible to prevent
infection.
Treatment Options For Acne
Cysts
- Oral antibiotics are the main treatment option for acne
since they get rid of bacteria and reduce
inflammation.
- Topical creams and ointments, either bought
over-the-counter or by prescription, help to kill the
bacteria that cause acne cysts and help to speed the
healing process.
- Isotretinoin is an extremely potent drug used to treat
severe acne cysts which don’t respond to other medications.
It is a synthetic retinoid, a form of Vitamin A which is
taken orally.
- Steroid Injections are only used when the acne cysts
become severely inflamed and there is a possibility of
rupture and scarring. A diluted steroid is injected into
the cyst to reduce the inflammation and promote
healing.
- Draining and surgical excision. Some large cysts do not
respond to medication and may require draining and
extraction. This should never be undertaken at home, but
always under the care of your dermatologist.
However, the best treatment is to prevent acne cysts forming
in the first place and there are various options for this:
- Make sure that you keep the affected areas thoroughly
clean using anti-bacterial products. Products containing
tea-tree oil can be used.
- Keep your hands clean and nails short. It might be a
good idea to carry around an anti-bacterial hand gel.
- Avoid touching your face or picking or squeezing your
pimples as this can lead to permanent scarring.
- Eat a healthy diet of fresh fruit, vegetables, whole
grains and legumes. Try to avoid refined sugars and starch
by giving up the junk food.
Remember that acne cysts are symptoms of severe acne and, if
not treated properly, can cause permanent scarring. By using
preventative methods and the treatment options mentioned, you
can keep your acne at bay and your skin free from scars.
