Causes of Eczema Unfortunately, the specific cause of eczema is unknown, but according to the NIH, "the disease seems to result from a combination of genetic (hereditary) and environmental factors." It appears that allergies and immune system disorders are associated with eczema, and that stress can cause eczema outbreaks in people who have inherited the tendency for the condition. Environmental irritants that can trigger or exacerbate outbreaks include dust, cigarette smoke, wool or synthetic clothing fibers, soaps, cosmetics, and household chemicals.Infantile Eczema According to the NIH, "Scientists estimate the 65 percent of patients develop symptoms in the first year of life, and 90 percent develop symptoms before the age of five." In other words, infant eczema is much more prevalent than adult-onset eczema. Moreover, about 60 percent of those with baby eczema will continue to have symptoms of the condition into adulthood.
Eczema Treatments Unfortunately, there is no known cure for eczema, and there are concerns about using standard medical treatments for infants and children. According to the NIH, the two goals of eczema treatment are preventing outbreaks and healing the skin. Doctors sometimes prescribe immuno-modulators that come in ointment or cream form, but these cannot be used in children under two years of age. In addition, unwanted side effects like burning or itching can occur.
So as you're probably aware acne is a painful skin condition, but it's get even worse if you have cystic acne. This is one of those most severe forms of acne. It's about the size of a nodule, and it's filled with 'pus'. Unlike regular pimples, cysts are deeper in the skin. Cysts are very painful, and they leave behind scars most of the time. So I don't recommend squeezing them at all, it can cause the cyst to actually pimples deeper into the skin. And in some cases squeezing the cyst may cause severe infection and it might lead to the development of other cysts. It appears more in teenagers than adults, but research show that this may change in the future. So it's best to know how to treat it, and it's good to know some natural cures for the condition.
How to treat cystic acne
You have to be very careful whilst treating cystic acne, as scaring is very common. I always suggest that clients go see an dermatologist before treating the acne them selves. Dermatologists will always suggest that they drain the cyst of all the pus, but it's your decision. There are also alternative treatments such as injections, but some can have bad side effects such as depression.
Natural cures for cystic acne
Okay, this may sounds really stupid but a case study by a popular dermatologist has suggested that sweating can cure cystic acne. But it actually makes perfect sense as sweating can flush your body clean of toxins. You can produce more sweat if you exercise with a fair amount of clothing on. Or you can go to a sauna, which is my preferred method. It's also important that you have a good diet. Theres a program called the cystic acne diet, which I also suggest you try before going down the operation route. You can find more about this diet below.
