How to Properly Treat Your Adult Cystic Acne

The problem with adult cystic acne is not that it's unique to you - much of the world's population suffers from it.  The problem is that it's so difficult to cure.  Most doctors recommend Accutane for patients with cystic acne, but this is a very powerful drug that can have adverse side effects on your body, and the body of future children, if you are a woman.  Some dermatologists recommend photodynamic therapy, a treatment that uses a special photosensitive liquid and blue spectrum light to treat adult cystic acne.  Even though there are few side effects, like any other procedure, it comes with a high cost.So how do you treat adult cystic acne?  For me, it wasn't so much a matter of dermatology as it was a matter of my daily routine.  True, I went in for a chemical peel on my back and chest when it got too much to take, but I was able to take care of the cysts with a product called Effaclar.  When this became less effective, I switched to Proactiv, and I haven't looked back.However, I've also been taking vitamin supplements and natural cures to heal my cysts for the past year.  Things like aloe vera, ice, vitamin c, zinc, and more have helped reduce my acne and keep it down more than a dermatology treatment.
