What is Cystic Acne?

Cystic acne is a severe form of acne that develops when pores become deeply clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria, leading to painful, swollen, pus-filled cysts under the skin. It often affects the face, chest, back, and shoulders and may leave scars if untreated.

Causes of Cystic Acne

  • Hormonal Imbalance – Androgen hormones increase oil production.
  • Genetic Factors – Family history of acne can increase risk.
  • Excess Sebum and Bacteria – Clogged pores cause deep inflammation.
  • Stress – Triggers hormonal changes that worsen acne.
  • Improper Skincare Routine – Use of heavy or comedogenic products.
  • Dietary Factors – High sugar or dairy intake can aggravate breakouts.
  • Environmental Factors – Humidity and pollution contribute to flare-ups.
