Having acne during teens can feel bad but having cystic acne is terrible. Cystic acne is a severe type of inflammatory acne characterized by the formation of pus-filled lumps under the skin. These are usually large and painful and have a tendency to leave big scars. Although the causative factor of cystic acne is same as that of regular acne (i.e. increased secretion of sebum which is an oily substance produced by sebaceous gland), these are the most severe forms of acne. The excessive sebum makes the skin pores clogged that favours growth of bacteria. The excess oil, bacteria, dead skin cells altogether result in formation of cystic acne. The acne mainly results from hormonal changes occurring in adolescent age that stimulate sebum production. Though acne mostly affects the adolescent age group but can occur in persons of any age group. Some of the factors that increase the risk of acne are hormonal changes linked to menstrual periods, increased sweating, using hormonal pills, greasy cosmetics, stress and family history.
Homeopathic remedies for cystic acne are a great form of natural treatment that are very safe and natural for our body. These medicines help in controlling excessive sebum production that prevents the further spread of acne and heals the acne already present. Such medicines help heal these acne by causing prompt release of pus or absorption of pus as the case may be. Besides, they manage the associated inflammation, itching, burning, pain and tenderness in the acne. Conventional mode of treatment recommends antibiotics, ointments and hormonal pills (in some cases of acne in women). These may offer short-term relief but may have side effects. But homeopathic remedies for cystic acne do not produce any side effects and once treated with homeopathic remedies, cystic acne do not recur.
Homeopathic medicines work on the root cause of cystic acne for permanent results. As the main cause behind acne is the increased sebum formation, so these medicines reduce the secretion of sebum by moderating the function of sebaceous glands. This results in halting acne formation and healing the acne already present. As the underlying cause is targeted, the results are magnificent. Homeopathic medicines may even help in lightening the old scars. For getting best results, it is advised to follow a complete treatment plan as per guidance of a homeopathic doctor.
Homeopathic medicines to treat cystic acne are chosen from among the list of medicines recorded in homeopathic therapeutics for acne. The medicine selection is done as per the characteristic symptom presentation of every individual case. Post medicine finalisation, the potency and dosage of medicine is decided for the given case that helps in getting remarkable results.
Homeopathy offers the most safe, gentle treatment for cystic acne. The medicines used in homeopathy for treating these acne are of natural origin that do not contain any type of toxins or chemicals in it. This makes them totally safe with zero side effects.
Besides being safe, another advantage of these medicines is that they never cause any suppression. It is a fact that if any skin ailment including acne, are suppressed with any form of medication, then though for the time being, these may disappear from skin surface but they are not cured. They always have a chance to show up again any time if these get triggered again. So, as homeopathic medicines are non-suppressive, they give permanent cure rather than temporary results.

My daughter is 41 years old. She has had acne ever since menstruation started. Acne over time has left a lot of scars. These days she gets more acne around her chin. They are big and painful and fill up with pus and take many days to heal. She is fair, slim and well educated. She is not married. As a child she was very intelligent, but very sensitive and would get offended and angry often when she did not get what she wanted-just to get you a sense of the mental symptoms. She was very thin growing up. She is 5′ 5″.
She gets hungry very often and must eat, but says after eating she needs to rest. Her period are regular, but were heavy all along. The doctor told her she has some kind of uterine fibroid. Can you help.
