What is cystic acne? Is it any different from the normal acnes that appear on the face?
Cystic acne is a form of acne associated with long-standing, painful nodules of the face, back of neck, chest, and back, characterized by large painful breakouts. Cystic acnes can scar the skin forever and they last longer than normal acnes. Cystic acne happens when this infection goes deep into your skin, creating a bump that’s full of pus. It may hurt or itch. If a cyst bursts, the infection can spread, causing more breakouts.
Cystic acne is a severe type of acne in which the pores in the skin become blocked, leading to infection and inflammation. Cystic acne is a more severe and relatively uncommon. It’s mostly caused by hormonal changes. The skin condition mainly affects the face, but also often affects the upper trunk and upper arms.
