the cause of your acne that is worsening is not as important as the treatment. cystic acne is the type most likely to scar and most likely to need the services of a good dermatologist. there are some wonderful medications available that can get your acne in control. at age 15 both male and females have "ranging hormones" which is really the number one cause; a cause that cannot be rectified at this time in your life since your hormones are providing some other essential functions right now. if you are female certain oral contraceptives can help regulate those zit-causing female hormones. for men there are no options to regulate testosterone; the male hormone. think of your acne as a temporary side-effect.
my acne has gone from mild to severe cystic acne? . i'm fifteen and lately my acne has gone to mild to sever cystic pimples. my cheeks foorehead and chin are now filled with bumpy red purple dry painful whiteheads and bumps. it wasn't that bad before. i can't even poke my face without it hurt so much. i can't even smile that much anymore and i don't even feel like smiling anyways. i just want to know what caused it? and how can i get rid of the redness and even the cystic acne itself? your help will be very appriciated. thank you so much!
