Dr., could you explain the causes of cystic acne on the face, the preventative measures, and the remedies?
Cystic acne is caused by deep blockage of pores with oil, bacteria, and dead skin, often influenced by hormones, stress, and genetics. To prevent it, keep your skin clean, avoid oily or heavy products, don?t pick pimples, and maintain a healthy diet and sleep routine. Treatment usually needs stronger options like topical retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, or oral medicines such as antibiotics or hormonal therapy under a doctor?s guidance, as creams alone may not be enough for deep acne.
