How To Treat Cystic Acne?

Hi, I'm in cosmetology school and we just did our skin care chapter. We were learning about acne and I learned I have cystic acne. I get it on my cheeks and neck and that's it. It has left me with permanent bumps and scarring. I don't know if I should see a Dermatologist or not...or what I should do.

Hello.
Thanks for the query.

As you have cystic acne you need treatment with oral drugs.

Isotretinoin will be best for you.

Acne treatment needs a combination of approach.

Please follow this regimen.

1. Apply epiduo cream in night keep it for an hour and wash your face.
2. Apply dew soft moisturiser and sleep.
3. In early morning apply clindac gel.
4. After bath apply suncote gel.

Carry on with this regimen for a month you will get improvement.

Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
