Hi M. I was told by my dermatologist that cystic acne is the hardest kind of acne to treat. I’ve had it off and on, and i can honestly say that nothing really helps. I just let mine go away on its own. Most over the counter medication doesn’t work. Don’t try to squeeze them, they just get worse, and then you risk having a scar. The reason medication doesn’t help, is because cystic acne is deep under the skin ( unlike other acne that can be popped easy ). If you squeeze it, it just pushes it deeper down into the skin. You can try getting a prescription for some stronger medication, but i never found that to help much either. Some people try taking antibiotics for cystic acne, but you can’t take them forever, so it will only help for a while. I wish i could tell you something that would make them go away. I know how frustrating it can be to deal with. It’s the worst kind of acne to have, that’s for sure. Try to use a good cleansing product on your skin to keep your pores clean, and reduce oil. And if you do get a cyst, try to let it heal on its own. Take care.
Here are a few tips that will help you know how to treat acne at home.
1. If you have red angry looking acne, don’t touch it. If you squeeze now, all you’ll do is force the contents deeper into the skin that will make matters worst. And all you’ll end up with is redder, angrier acne than you had before. Don’t do it.
2. If you have a yellow custard top? Go for it. These beauties CAN be squeezed but there’s an art to it. Here’s how. Wash your hands thoroughly to avoid trouble and infection. Put a tissue over your finger. Why? Because you want the contents of the spot on the tissue, not splattered all over the mirror. Using the side of your thumb and the end of your finger, very gently start to squeeze. Don’t whatever you do, use your nails as this will damage your skin. Stop when you’re applying a lot of pressure and nothing is happening and you see clear fluid, rather than yellow grotty stuff and the spot begins to bleed. When you’ve finished dab it with antiseptic. Once the custard bit is out, the spot will heal more quickly than an unsqueezed yellow top would, providing that you now leave it well alone. Now wash your hands again.
3. Whiteheads and blackheads. If acne is left untreated they may cause this problem. Here the rule is if they’re black, squeeze but if they’re small, white raised lumps leave them alone. All that stuff about clean hands, tissues and stopping if nothing is happening or you see blood, apply here too.

The worst thing about acne is the scars and the marks it leaves behind. Some of the scars tend to disappear with time but some are so grave that it can be disfiguring which may make our heart sink.
The post acne marks is the hyper pigmented or red marks and is called as the post inflammatory marks. These marks take at least 6-12 months to completely disappear. When these marks last longer than a year then it turns into a scar. A number of things could be done to reduce the redness and to quicken its pace to disappear. There are also a number of home remedies available. Following are some of them.
Rub lemon juice on the scar/marks. This will lighten the colour. Apply the juice and leave it on for about 10 minutes. Wash off your face and then apply a sun block lotion.
2) Make a paste of sandalwood powder, black gram powder and rose water. Apply it on the area and I possible leave it overnight. Wash it with cold water the next morning. If you find that it makes you skin too dry then add some milk into it.
