- Ice
Looking at those cysts can get you tempted to pick at them or prod them. But you should be warned, however, that continually touching or manipulating cysts does not in any way help your cystic acne treatment. It could further cause a rupture of the cysts beneath the skin which will lead to more scarring and inflammation. If you begin to feel some pains in the cysts on your skin, before you even commence cystic acne treatment, you can get an ice pack and place it on it. This will keep the temperature nerves busy and take away the pain signals from the pain pathway.
- Aspirin Mask
Aspirin is useful for a lot of things and during your cystic acne treatment, it could come in handy too. It could work as a soothing antidote during your cystic acne treatment, especially for inflamed or painful cystic acne. Crush aspirin and mix it in water to form a paste that you can plaster on the acne spot. Aspirin is an excellent medication for inflammation and can help reduce redness in cystic acne. It sure performs better than drying agents.
Some other things you could consider when looking for skincare remedies for your cystic acne treatment or acne scar removal include salicylic acid, sulfur, hydrocortisone cream, retinol and benzoyl peroxide.
