What you don't know about Acne

Acne is a very troubling condition for those that suffer from it. When a person suffers from facial acne there is no hiding it and when acne is drawn out over a long time it can have damaging effects on the self-esteem of those that are struggling with it. Acne is not the hopeless skin disease that it once was, there is treatment for almost all types of acne. It is very important to learn as much information as possible about acne and to know what help and what treatments are available.

There are many types of acne all with varying levels of severity. Cystic acne is one of the most severe forms of acne. It can be painful and it can also lead to troublesome scarring. As much as possible, it is best to seek treatment for acne way before it ever reaches the level of cysts and nodules. However, if for some reason that has not been possible, aggressive treatment will be necessary to halt any further progression. The first step in gaining control of severe acne is to make an appointment with a doctor or dermatologist.

Acne cysts are larger than your average pimple or blackhead. A person that suffers from cystic acne is likely to have acne spots spread over fifty percent or more of their face and they are also likely to suffer some degree of pain. Acne cysts are usually more 5 millimeters in diameter and are formed when pockets of pus are trapped just below the surface of the skin. What makes these spots extremely frustrating for those that have them is that they can last for months without going away.

Although it is great to understand what is happening with your skin, for most people the most valuable information is how to solve the problem. Most people simply want a cure, a cure that works. First, let us talk about what should not be done. Under no circumstances should a person struggling with cystic acne try to squeeze or burst a cyst. This can have detrimental consequences. Often, this will serve only to make any infection deeper, causing the cyst to take longer to heal than if left alone.

Unfortunately, no simple, catch-all cure exists for acne, especially severe acne. Doctors do have methods to help prevent scarring, which is one of the reasons that any treatment that you undertake be done with advice from your doctor. Most people find that they have to try several types of treatment or combinations of treatments before they are able to hit upon a solution. More often than not, it is a combination of treatments that do the trick.

Ps: So, did you hate to have acne or not now?? Its dangerous to girls right?
