What is the difference between nodular acne and cystic acne?

Cystic acne

The initial lesions are mostly blackheads, papules and pustules, and inflammatory nodules or cysts ranging in size from beans to fingernails may also be seen. The various lesions vary in size and depth, with one or two of them often predominating. They often occur in the fatty areas of the face, chest and back, and occasionally in other parts of the body. They are symmetrically distributed, with the center of the face, especially the nose and around the eye sockets, often spared. There are usually no subjective symptoms, but if the inflammation is obvious, it may cause pain and tenderness. After puberty, most patients can recover naturally or their symptoms can be alleviated.

Nodular acne

At the level of pustules, the accumulation of a large amount of keratinized substances and sebum in the hair follicles will destroy the structure of the hair follicles and sebum, thus forming some deep or shallow nodules on the skin surface. Pressing them with your hands will cause pain. If not treated in time, permanent scars are likely to occur.

How to eliminate nodular acne and cystic acne?

1. Wash your face frequently

First of all, when we have acne, we should wash our face frequently with warm water, but don’t wash it too much in a day, as washing too much will make the skin very dry. It is best to use it with the mild formula of Dogano White Tea Soothing and Protective Cleanser, which can reduce inflammation and control oil. This will give you a better face washing effect.

2. Get enough sleep

Young people nowadays often stay up late, which is a big taboo for women. Staying up late for a long time and irregular life will lead to dehydrated skin and poor blood circulation. In the long run, it will lead to endocrine disorders, excessive oil production, and pores will become increasingly enlarged. If you want to get rid of acne on your face, a good schedule is crucial.

3. Anti-acne products

Because this type of cystic acne takes a long time to heal itself, you should buy some acne-removing products and apply them on it to make it grow out quickly. This way, it will heal faster and shorten the healing time.
