Cystic Acne Treatment
Cystic acne treatment is a type of severe acne treatment that affects the various lymph nodes all over your body. It is extremely important that this type of acne be treated by your dermatologist. A dermatologist is a medical doctor that specializes in and diagnoses skin conditions. Cystic acne is a severe form of inflammatory acne and normally will not improve with medications that are normally used on the other acne cases.
Cystic acne treatment requires the use of isotretinoin (Accutane) which is a type of retinoid. This medication is taken orally one to two times per day for anywhere from 16 to 20 weeks. By reducing the size of the oil glands, which prevents oil from being produced, this medication can get very good results. By reducing the production of oil, which is a major cause of acne, the severe acne should be prevented. Isotreinoin also helps to reduce the amount of cell shedding and reduces the stickiness of the cells in the follicles, thus preventing the development of comedones.
