Cystic acne is the most serious type of acne. It develops when cysts form deep underneath your skin. This can result from a combination of bacteria, oil, and dry skin cells that get trapped in your pores.

Although anyone can develop acne, cystic acne tends to occur in people with oily skin. It’s also more common in teens, women, and older adults with hormonal imbalances.

Check out the home remedies for Cystic Acne: 

1. IceBecause ice is often effective in decreasing swelling, itchiness, pain, and redness, some natural healers suggest rubbing an ice cube on the cystic acne spot until the cold becomes uncomfortable. Some recommend doing this three times daily.

2. Turmeric mask: It is anti-inflammatory and antiseptic, some natural healers recommend using a turmeric mask to treat cystic acne. Mixing small amounts of water with turmeric powder creates a thick paste. The home remedy recommendation is to apply this paste directly to the cystic acne and leave it in place for about 45 minutes, before rinsing it off with water.

3. Aspirin mask: Mix a crushed aspirin tablet with water to make a paste and applying this to a cystic pimple. This mask may help reduce pain and inflammation.

4. Neem: Neem has many anti-viral and antiseptic properties. Neem is good for skin as well as health. You can also use neem oil. Apply neem oil on acne prone skin for 20 minutes. Then wash your face with warm water. Doing this experiment 3 to 4 times a week will help reduce acne.
