After a big cyst...some people develop this type of scar
1. Try not to pick at it in hopes of making the bump go away.. cause it wont and you're just delaying it from improving 2. Get a Sulfur Wash...use it in the morning. Just rub it into your skin and leave it for 5 mins. This is a great way to rid your face of oil and dirt accumulated from the night and you want to minimize any radicals within the scar. Keeping it clean and healthy is a good way start to your day. 3. You also need a prescription of tazorac. It is a retinoid you can only get from a dermatologist. Its really important you get some type of retinoid. You will use this after your sulfur wash. Rub it into your scar. Try not to press too hard that you damage your skin. Massaging this into the scar will improve circulation so that blood and nutrients can get to it more efficiently. The tazorac helps break up scar tissue and also keeps your pores and oil under control. Use this also before bed. 4. Get some mederma. Some people claim that it doesn't work and it might not but if you have some extra cash you should get it because it may help a little, i liked it and still use it. It doesn't clog pores or anything. It really soothes the scar and makes it softer. Wait a half hour or so after putting tazorac on and massage mederma into the scar. You can apply this a couple times through out the day if you want. 5. Get exercise, go for a walk outside or ride your bike. It will increase circulation in your body and promote wound healing. Will also make you feel better 6. Get your hands on some Zinc supplements. Zinc is great for your skin. It helps with healing a lot and prevents acne in general. Besides that just make sure you are eating enough. Getting the right amount of nutrients your body needs to work at its best is important. Also don't expect to see amazing results right away. You're not going to wake up one day and be like OMG its gone!!! But over the span of a few months using this method that has worked for me... you can do this regimen and look in the mirror and say hey it is looking better. There might be periods of time that you dont notice any improvement, but don't let that get to you. Just keep following this regimen and it will continue to work until you're happy with your scar

I didn't have cystic acne everywhere but for some reason my nose was a really good spot for them. I used to get a few on my back too. My cysts were DEEP cysts that don't come to a head.
First off. If you get one, Do not try to cut it open or squeeze it. It makes it worse, deeper, and harder to control. I had these spots on my nose that would not go away. They would get better and then worse, but they would never completely go away. I tried all the antibiotics, Retin-A, different washes and then my derm put me on accutane. I felt so great while taking accutane because they sucked up my cysts until they were gone. As soon as i went off accutane they started to fill up again. I was really depressed. The same spots. I went back to the derm and i tryed this thing called aczone. Didn't work. So i started doing my own research. I bought some tree tea oil 100%. You can buy it at a gnc or something. Its an anti inflammatory and antiseptic. It really helped control the spots and over a couple months they started getting smaller. It got to a point where the tree tea oil couldn't improve them anymore though. They just stayed the same. I also started using a sulfur wash. In the morning and before bed. This also helped improve them even more. How i got rid of them was Photodynamic Therapy though. They placed the levulon on my nose for 2 hours. Then they did IPL on my nose first. It was a stinging feeling, but not that bad at all. After that I went into the BLU light. It was pretty warm lol but not bad at all. I have pretty sensitive skin and am white. After that i went home and could see a 98% improvement and its only the second day and it gets better in time. I also have 2 more treatments left which they spread out over a couple months. This treatment works by destroying P acnes.. makes the overactive sebacious glands smaller.. makes your pores smaller too. To keep them from coming back I have changed my diet. No junk food and no meat. Just fruits and veggies and a few other things and lots of water. I also have been taking a vitamin A and vitamin B supplements. "A" helps reduce sebum production which is probably the reason for my cysts...too much being produced causing inflammation. B does the same thing but in a different way. Also taking Zinc supplements too. I dont mind going back in a couple years for the same treatment if they come back. Its not that expensive and the downtime is not bad. If you've tried a lot of stuff and it hasn't worked for you.. please try these steps in this order. It might work for you too. |
