cystic acne is cystic because the problem does not exhist on the surface. therefore, treatments on the surface do not work. ive had cystic acne for 15 years. I am covered with scars and have tried every topical creation known to man. p.s. i never ever picked or scratched my acne. its the deep nature of the inflammation that causes unstoppable scars. only terrifying medications like accutane are effective. I’ve seen multiple dermatologists and internal medicine doctors. I’ve changed my diet. I’ve exercised more. Nothing could save my pretty face. If you have cystic acne go to a dermatologist. if it doesnt work you’re basically f’ed.

To Chenese…
If you use milk, it has to be unpasturized…obviously most ‘grocery store’ milk have no enzymes at all!!

None of these remedies are for cystic acne. They are for topical acne. All baking soda, toothpaste, and any other topical solutions mentioned do is dry out the area. They can help treat the pimple, but they do nothing for the actual problem. Cystic acne is internal and needs internal treatment.

Toothpaste has some of the same qualities as Baking Soda. You can get a brand of Baking Soda which is called Arm and Hammer, but they also make sensitive toothpaste.

A couple things that have helped me. My grandpa always said to put milk on a cotton ball and put it on the affected area(s) after showering (when the pores are open from the heat). The enzymes will help eat up the bacteria from the acne on your face. Also, if you have a problem with redness, you can put Visine (or generic eye drops) on your skin and it will remove the redness.

Try putting a dab of toothpaste on the acne. I am dealing with cystic acne now and putting toothpaste on overnight really helps with swelling

Here is a way to get your acne to calm down a bunch get some pure baking soda and some water and mix it together to where it makes a cream and put on infected area’s and wait about five minutes and take off with warm water and you should do it once on twice a day.

Good luck & God bless!!
