Your Guide to Cystic Acne






Cystic acne is a painful form of acne that often requires medical attention. It is a severe form of acne which happens to both genders. When cysts develop under your skin, it causes this severe acne. It is common among teens and people with oily skin.


Cystic acne forms when bacteria, oil, and dry skin combines under the skin. The cystic acne gets trapped in the pores. Cystic acne is filled with pus and sometimes looks like a hard boil. It’s a swelling caused by bacteria which happens in the middle layer when infected. Stress, menopause, and hormonal changes during teenage or adolescent age are significant causes of cystic acne. There is a high level of androgen production during the teenage age. It also affects sebum production, and when the pores get clogged and trap dirt, it leads to cystic acne.



Sometimes, cystic acne looks like a red lump under the skin. It’s as tiny as a pea, and the white pus makes it painful and tender to touch. A breakout of cystic acne can happen in different parts of the body. It mainly occurs at the back, neck, chest and face because it has the most oil gland.



Cystic acne can be challenging to handle. Most times, it requires medical attention depending on the level of severity. There are some ways to prevent cystic acne.


1. A mild soapless or foam cleanser should replace your bath’s harsh soap. Instead of using a sponge on your face, it is better to use a cotton washcloth. Wash your face at least three times a day. Ensure you use warm water and be gentle not to cause any harm to your face.



2. After a long day out, clean your face with a cotton pad and shea butter. Make sure to use non-comedogenic products on your skin. Also, avoid sleeping with make-up on your face. Remember, dirt is one of the major causes of cystic acne.


3. Some products recommended medically for cystic acne can be drying. Make sure you always use a moisturiser. It is best to use an all-natural and oil-free moisturiser for your face.



4. Don’t pick on the pimples. It will only keep your acne open to infections and bacteria. Please keep your hands away from your face, no matter how tempting it can be.


 


Your diet plays a significant role in the treatment and appearance of cystic acne. However, there are home remedies for managing cystic acne. Before you go ahead with these remedies, make sure you talk with your dermatologist.


 


An ice pack will reduce the swelling caused by cystic acne. Ice will reduce the redness and swelling, but it does not take cystic acne away. When you put an ice wrap on the acne, it constricts the blood vessels in that area. It will reduce the pain that comes with cystic acne. While reducing the swelling, it makes the acne less noticeable. When next your cystic acne becomes itchy or starts to trouble you, use an ice pack on it as it will create a numbing effect.


 


There are certain foods to help you get rid of acne. Refined foods and fast food worsen your acne. Try to add oats, healthy fats, whole grains and more vegetables to your diet. Diet generally affects hormones, and it can make acne worse. Also, take more water to keep you hydrated on the inside. Replace processed drinks and ice cream with water. When you have the proper diet, it will reduce the appearance of cystic acne.


Spot treatment can also help reduce cystic acne. Ensure your doctor recommends the right product for this procedure. Also, eat your probiotics as it creates a connection between your gut health and skin condition.


Yoghurts are a great source of probiotics. They help to decrease skin inflammation and also improve the general health of the skin.



There are topical treatments that can help you get rid of cystic acne fast. While these home remedies will help control the appearance of cystic acne, it is best to visit your dermatologist. Unlike other types of acne, cystic acne can get easily infected.

A common tradition in Swaziland (Swazi) permits the King, Mswati, to choose a new bride every year. This is done in a festival named Swazi Reed Dance Festival where girls are paraded and tested publicly to know their virginity status. It has been a long time tradition in Swaziland and not the first time this controversial issue is making it into the news. Although, many consider this barbaric and backward, it’s a tradition the people willingly embrace as the aim is to help King Mswati choose a wife. As part of Swazi custom and norms, that time of the year has come, when the King chooses his bride and again, he has reportedly tested some of the volunteered girls’ virginity before choosing a wife for himself.

Ijakumo Movie Review

  Whatever this movie was set to give, it didn't give.  Even the stripping is not giving. Why is the Sharon girl sex talking like she is doing spoken words???  I liked the babe in "Listening Ears", but I feel she is not 'mature' enough theatrically for this role. Wait, what I noticed was that Toyin and her crew didn't know there was a girl who looks like the Sharon girl in his church. A very crazy error that no director should make. If they had come in with this, maybe the finding out they were twin bla BLA BLA suspense would suspense well. But as the director or script writer were very myopic, the twin shii didn't hold water. If they had said or showed that they picked the Ugandan girl because she looked like the Nigerian girl in his church, e for make perfect sense. Seriously, I am miffed. The only thing that thrilled me was Kunle Remi and his lines. O mard gan. 🤣🤣🤣 "Emi mimo ni kin gbenu sohun". 🤣🤣🤣 "So, idi Uganda lo Fe baye mi j...

Sista Movie Review

  The opening scene did me in. I read somewhere that the first few 5 minutes of a movie determines if it is worth it.  Trust me, Sista movie hooked me in less than 5 minutes. I loved the straight to the point opening. No show of the Third Mainland Bridge. No lazy show of Lagos traffic. Nothing. Also, the past/present sequence made crazy sense.  Seeing Kehinde Bankole in that role is refreshing, it's not what she is used to, but she did well. Chimezie was quite not in character, or maybe he didn't bond with Ade Herself. I don't know. He is better than what I saw him act here. As usual Aunty Ronke Oshodi Oke gave it her all. This Tope Owokoniran babe tried with her Hausa accent. I love it!!! I think this is the best of her I have seen so far. I'd say this is a movie Aunty Biodun Stephen put her everything to make. This is a beautiful work of art. I love every piece of it. The story line is dope. Directing is flawless. The fun part was that even though It was predictable f...
