Cystic acne is in fact one of the most severe forms of acnes. It has its roots deep within the skin. I would recommend that to understand cystic acnes better you should first read the article on true causes of acnes to understand why cystic acnes are caused.

You can recognize cystic acnes by the hard bumps that occur under the skin, they are filled with a semi-liquid substance. Cystic acnes can lead to severe acne marks. Cystic acnes are much larger than whiteheads and other common pimples and they can be really painful. Externally it seems that cystic acnes are caused by the blocking up of the sebum glands that leads to inflammation of the surrounding tissues and the retention of pus in the area.

Retention keratosis also worsens the cystic acne. In this condition an improper shedding of the skin occurs, this leads to the skin follicles to get clogged up due to dead skin cells; accompanied with it the excessive secretion of oil from the sebaceous glands leads to the perfect environment for acne bacteria. The cystic acne infection can also spread in the surrounding area and thus worsening the swelling and redness.

The infectious matter that gets accumulated under the skin in this condition when not discharged properly leads to a very slow healing process of the cystic acne. To prevent scars and to reduce any kind of damage to the skin cystic acnes should be treated as quickly as possible. And as conventional treatments only address the surface level symptoms, the holistic approach is the only solution that completely cures the cystic acne condition.

The holistic approach cures the acne condition by addressing the internal causes through a multi dimensional approach that includes the right diet, internal and external cleansing, optimization of lifestyle etc. It eliminates the factors that cause acnes thus not curing the existing acnes but also preventing new acnes from occurring and also preventing acne marks.
