Zinc supplement acne and treatments for adult cystic acne

Some cysts are so large and widespread that they do not respond to medication. These have to be physically drained and excised under the watchful eyes of dermatologist. Care should be taken and no attempt is to be made to personally excise them in front of bathroom mirrors. The instruments employed should be properly sterilized. It has been observed in many a cases that patients' attempt to cut and puncture these cysts have led to many a problems and in fact have made the condition worse. To drain and surgically excise these cysts, special comedones are used by surgeons.
Acne is a skin condition that involves the hair and oil glands. It is basically plugged pores. These are commonly known as blackheads, whiteheads or pimples. They occur mainly on the face, neck, chest, back, shoulders and upper arms but can occur anywhere on the body. Hair follicles, often called pores, get blocked with sebum (oil), which normally drains to the surface, and a bacteria begins to grow. Both whiteheads and blackheads start out as a "microcomedone" which then become skin blemishes called comedones. Acne can be upsetting, disfiguring, sometimes even leading to permanent scarring.
Treating adult acne is slightly different to treating a teenage spot problem due to the different hormonal changes in the body, and also the environmental causes of the problem. It's not just a case of washing twice a day with a medicated soap. When you're an adult skin care takes a bit more time and focus.
