If you suffer from cystic acne, your friends, family and that nice lady at the bakery, have probably proffered home remedy ideas.
Finding a natural cure for cystic acne is a trial and error process. However, some people have found acne solutions outside of conventional medicine.
One cystic acne remedy some people swear by is a hormonal balancing supplement of herbs. Saw palmetto berry extract for boys and chaste tree berry for girls is recommended.
Another popular home treatment is a topical rinse made of vinegar. Also, you may wish to try egg white beaten with lemon juice (I know, ugh! But my bakery lady swears by it!) and an application of ice packs to the face before bed.
Various topical treatments are available at health food stores and oral supplements are often recommended as well. Most of these will do no harm but you still should check with a licensed medical professional before starting any regimen for the treatment of acne.
Washing your face frequently may actually worsen acne as oils are washed away and the body tries to compensate. Washing in the morning, applying a long lasting moisturizer and repeating the process at night is the safest course.
Before seeking a more invasive remedy for cystic acne you should rule out allergies. Makeup can cause severe acne breakouts and even certain food allergens can cause vicious hives that can be mistaken for acne.
Unfortunately there is no tried and true home remedy for cystic acne that works for everyone. A chance at finding some form of relief does exist however so definitely try.
If you can reduce the pain and discomfort of cystic acne why not try? And if the symptoms clear enough that you are not tempted to wear a bag on your head when you leave the house, so much the better.
