Effective Home Remedies Against Cystic Acne
Cystic acne is also called nodulocystic acne. It is common in people with oily skin and hormonal imbalances. As compared to milder forms of acne, cystic acne is noticeably painful as it is associated with large, stubborn, and inflamed cysts and nodules that appear on the skin and hangs around for days, weeks, or even months.
Some of its symptoms include:
- Breakouts that are painful to the touch or even when not touched
- Nodules that appear as raised, red bumps that generally do not have a whitehead showing
- Large, red and painful breakouts occurring on the face, back, chest, shoulder, upper arms, or thighs
- More visible acne that produces cysts and nodules in addition to papules and pustules
- Have lesions that can be felt beneath the skin before they’re seen
These symptoms increase psychological distress, decreases self-esteem and mood especially when cystic acne occurs on the face.
Natural Remedies For Cystic Acne
Put Some Ice On It
Rub an ice cube in a circular motion directly on top of the cystic acne spot. Continue doing this until it becomes too sensitive from cold. For best results, do these 3 times daily.
Make A Vinegar Cleanser
"Diluted white vinegar is an amazingly broad antibacterial that can help kill the acne bacteria."
Make a vinegar cleanser by simply mixing a couple of capfuls of white vinegar in a cereal bowl of purified water. Use this mixture as a cleanser over the skin twice a day until desired results are achieved.

Use Aloe Vera Gel
Fight Bacteria With Holy Basil
Tap On Tea Tree Oil
For this purpose, simply mix 4–8 drops of tea tree oil and one teaspoon of coconut oil or jojoba oil. Dap lightly onto the problem areas. It’s normal to feel a slight tingling, but if lots of burning is felt, discontinue its use. Since tree oil can be too harsh when applied directly to the skin, it is recommended to always use a carrier oil.
When treating acne with essential oils, it is recommended that one should avoid exposure to direct sunlight as it may only cause skin irritations or redness.
Your Towels and Pillowcases
Also, frequent change of pillowcases and towels is recommended to avoid the presence and spread of bacteria which can only worsen acne.
Dermalmd is the only acne serum I'll use. It dries up any existing acne and prevents future break outs. You can buy this as chain stores but they charge more for the product.
